    Default Wd-40 in SparkPlug and wont Start now

    I know it was a noobish thing and dumb thing to do but i regret it now and i need a way to get it out or something. my intake sucked up some water after the car wash and it ran bad so i changed my oil and sprayed wd40 on my distributor and inside the sparkplug place without the sparkplug in there. now it wont crank. will the wd40 dry up inside the sparkplug place? or is there anyway to get it cleaned out?

    yea let it dry out. wd 40 was designed to displace water and prevent corrosion not exactly conduct electricity
