throttle body bypass now not starting?? Help!!

Hey guys i just finished up doing my throttle body bypass. When i disconnected the hose from the driver side of the car, coolant spewed all over the place for a while. That was my only problem i had with the whole deal. Other than that everything went fine and i know i plugged everything back up. The car cranks over and over and over but it will not fire. What do u guys think it is??

Thanks,
Heath

got your opti wet, you can wait until it dries up or pull the plugs wires out of the opti and dry them out, hopefuly that helps

make sure your MAF TPS and IAT are plugged in. you may have removed them when/if you took the elbow off.
I hope you didnt get coolant on the opti....

i figured it was the damn opti, The coolant spewed for a while their was nothing i could do cause it was so hot. So u think it might just dry up and work fine in the morning or is it toast??

yeah you never want to work on anything coolant related when the engine is hot, always work on it when its cold, hopefully when it dries it comes back to life but dont hold your breath

re-member water only fries electronics because it causes a short to ground. If you get somthing wet (hopefully it was of when you got it wet) wait till its dry to start it!
This theory worked for my cell phone mp3 player and keyless entry for me when i once got thrown in a pool.... same with the opti!
should be dry by now....

Next time, make sure you have something to catch the coolant, or lead it away. Did you forget that coolant ran in coolant lines?
