Okay, so to start the story, I washed out my engine bay yesterday. I covered the distributor and alternator with aluminum foil before that. I started the car up after I dried everything off, it seemed fine. I drove to class this morning, and to Walmart afterwards, everything was fine. On the way back from Walmart, I'm slowing down at a light, and my car dies. I hear the engine cranking when I try to start it back up, but it won't turn over I guess. I tried getting it jumped, that didn't help. I'm betting I got water somewhere it shouldn't be. One suggestion was water in the distributor. I'm going back to go check stuff this afternoon. Any thoughts?
Oh, by the way, I have the stock airbox on still, so I certainly hope I didn't manage to get water in there.
Update: Took apart the distributor, and everything looks fine there, no water or anything in it. However, there's no spark at the plugs...maybe the coil's bad? (It's a '92, so it's the external coil.) That's next on my list of things to check.
