Default XJ8 VDP wont start

I only driven my XJ8 VDP twice this winter, so it has been sitting in my garage. This morning it started right up with out a problem, drove for about a mile and back. Washed my car, and then 3 hours later, it won't start. It is turning over fine, but there is no "spark" whatsoever. There is no error code. All sparkplugs were replaced about 2000 miles ago. Battery is fine. I have only 54K on the odometer. It is a 2002 VDP. I might have flooded the engine, but how do I unflood the engine or otherwise troubleshoot this problem?

Check the 'Car won't start' listing on the official answer page for the forum.

Good chance that you have experienced the 'cylinder wash' problem. Not to worry, there is a solution there.
