I have a 1990 Bp-t engine 1800cc Turbo (190'000ks) from a Mazda GTX in my Ford Laser. I recently degreased the engine and after it was running rough. I found water on top of the sparkplug in the 4th cylinder so cleaned it up and sprayed CRC into it and it ran fine. Then after letting the car sit for about 5 hours it cranks but wont start. At one stage it started but was at an extremely low idle and once u pushed the gas pedal in it stalled. It feels like its almost starting but not quite. I have sprayed CRC in all of the plugs to draw moisture away, theres no water inside the distributor and im at a lost end! Please Help!

Inspect the plugwires in the cap and all electrical connectors involving the igntion system.

Still don't want to start disconnect a plug wire ground it to the engine and crank it over -Do you have spark?
