Wont Start

[Lost]

ok so today i decided to clean my upper intake manifold.. well i cleaned it all out and painted it and in the process of cleanining it i ran it under hot water and forgot to take off the little iac electrical thing and the evr next to it. so they got wet. :blackeye: .. now my car wont start. Is this the problem or cud it be something else. i went over everything multiple times and im almost positive i didnt forget to put anything back together. thanks.

Start by using a hair dryer to dry those two items. Then, make sure you have reconnected all the wires. If it appears to be cranking very fast, you lost compression. You need to either push the gas pedal all the way down and crank or pull the plugs off Bank 2 and put a teaspoon of oil in each cylinder. Good luck.

Edit. Did you read the tips here?

If the IAC is stuck shut you should be able to get the engine to start by holding the throttle SLIGHTLY open.
