Default My Z will not start....!!

Hello guys.
long time no see

before 3 days ago, i washed my Z engine with water after using the cleaning engine spray!
i start the engine but after 1 minut the engine dead!!

i checked all fuse box near the door all is OK!
there is no electric power to spark plug when i crank the engine.
So, is there any other fuse or any related things i can check??
please help me! i have bad luck with this car, i just came back to Czech Re.
and i drove my car for 2 days then this happend.
Is it coils problem, or ECM, or ignition module? since all fuse for those were
fine, so what is the problem? i wait your feedback guys.

Breaking news!
today Obama came to Czech.
i was at 8:00 AM in Airport near Prague making take off and landing traning in private plane,when we saw the police car blocking the runway and ask us to not fly!!
they where more police there then and took mt passport for more than 2 hours,for checking,we put all planes in hangers
so all small planes where grounded for Obama eyes for this day

You said it right there Hadi, "washing the engine with water".

that is a no no.

Unsure what the water damages, but I'll let the experts chime in.

Hope it's an easy fix

Definate no no. Water got into your starter. It might dry out and be ok. I power wash my engine bay also at the car wash but I spray only up to the valve covers, no higher. Getting a little water under the plenum usually just burns right off but to much won't.

I sent the car to other Mechanic Shop,400 km away from my city where i live.
and the guy told me today it apear that Spark plugs are Bad and that is why the car do not fire!
is it possible that the engine will not not fire at all because of spark plugs??
i am watting his telefone call today so he make sure if he fire the engine
with new spark plugs!!
but i saw the spark plugs before i send the car, and it was not looking so bad,
so i do not know!
2 days later i am going back home to Kuwait,leaving my beast with strange issue!!
