Cooling System Flush - Engine Wont Start Now

Hey guys...Yesterday I flushed out the cooling system, and in doing so sprayed the engine with a bit of water. I also got a little bit inside the TPI throttle body. Today the car would not start. I am assuming I need to let it dry out for a few days? Should be OK after that...Right?

Yup. you can also pull the cap off the dizzy to help it dry a bit faster. If that got wet also.
A lil bit of water shouldn't shouldnt hurt it but everyone has a diff amount of "a little".
