when cleaned my mates clio, forgot to cover the dizzy cap, did the plugs etc.. but it had a severe loss of power and made really funny noises, then wouldnt start, left it for 3 hours and it was fine.

As above, coevred alternator and air intake with plastic bags and cleaned the engine. left it an hour or so to dry off and now it wont start.

whats more worrying is when i tries to start it the exhaust made a bang like a cannon.

now its just turning over. any suggestions.

and yes i have done this before with no problems.
