Fluid in my spark plug valley
Hi every one could really use a had here.. I have a 1993 sc300 the other day I decided it was time to do some maintenance. So i ran sea foam threw the oil,gas,and pcv hose. it smoked as it should and i ran the gas tank out with no problem then the next day i proceeded to change the oil and spark plugs and wires. after getting it back together i took it for a spin. Made it about half a mile down to road when it seamed that2 of the cylinders died then trying to get home two more died and now it will not start.. I took one of the spark plug wires out and seen a bunch of fluid in the valley..i don't think its oil its brown and very watery. Any one have any idea what this is?

Hey every one. I want to thank every one for their help.. But this was sadly this was a noob mistake. So for the other noobs such as myself don't forget to reconnect your coolant lines to your throttle body. But to fix this issue i hooked up a shop vac and vacuumed most of the fluid out then hit the valley and spark plugs with parts cleaner and then some compressed air. once it is dry reassemble and she started right up. you live and you learn, and i will never forget that line again..
