are you 100% sure the leads are in the right order
hi there so what are you getting is the turning over just not starting ,or nothing ,did it stop running straight after you washed the engine or did it take an hr or so because you might of cooked the ignition module or shorted a relay out ,i have a vp 5.0 not shaugh if they are the same i am guessing they are i would be looking at relays for fuel pump etc if not look at the the ignition module also did you have the car running before you washed it and was it at running temperature and did you have the car running while you washed as i have encountered problems in the past with car that i washed the engine bay they struggled to start after washing them hot which is bad as hot and cold dont mix so next time i would keep her running while doing it as i keep myn running when doing the bay.
cheers bhopper
cheers guys yes the car was running before the engine bay was washed and also was turnded off while washing and never started again after that and the leads are in the right order and have been double checked i have also run the self dignostics and it says that the car is number 12 code wich is sadisfactory operation so its got me stuffed
