POp the hood, put some heat to it for awhile, see if it starts after drying. Done this one to many times myself.
When cleaning an engine bay its important to remember to use as LITTLE water as possible. Not to mention cover all the important electrical items. Use more arm grease to clean instead of all that water.

solution: get a hair dryer out and hit as many electrical connectors as you can with the hot air.
it may take awhile to get the moisture out..BUT you will never do that again,will you??
OH,the car is "flooded" too,so look up deflooding..if you smell gas..you flooded it.It needs dry plugs and all excess fuel out of the engine.

Plugs probably got really soaked.
Hell the directions on all engine degreasers all say, "use as little water as possible"
