Crank no start no spark no log lock off click

I have a Toyota that will not start. It cranks over but does not fire. I have power to the distributor coil but no spark. Swapped distributors with no luck also tried a different ignition module. No power to lock off solenoid. Customer presssure washed it then started it to move it. Took an air hose and blew engine bay off and it would not start after. I am not getting power out of the Ecu to the lpg main relay as well. Could Ecu have a problem or does the Ecu look for a signal before it sends power to the lock off and other components? Anyone have any experience with pressure washing these Toyota's and having issues?

Serial is 31248

It is possible that there will be some issues with starting after pressure washing is done not right. Often people forget that there are areas in the engine bay that are sensitive to even small amounts of water. I always cover the air filter and the fuse box before washing the insides of the car.
It takes some time, but it is the only way to ensure you will not damage the car. It is also recommended to choose lower pressure not to ruin anything inside. And if you don't have time or are unsure that you can wash the car properly, you can always call guys like https://sparklewash.com/nashville/ to get some help

Yes the pressure washing thing can cause no starts and other issues.
Usually a god drying will resolve any problems.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
