wet motor

I made a mistake and listen to the guy from a parts store[largechain],
I had a vacuum leak I could not find he said to spray everything
with wd40 and I would be able to hear the leak
I did still could not tell.
So a long story short, drove it home it run fine
I got up the next day it will not start.
New plugs rotor button cap,coil wire .
Still nothing.
any ideas would be helpful

Sounds like an unrelated problem- try the basics, does it have spark, fuel and compression?

I did use a screwdriver to the block to see the fire.
I am off work today so I am going to try to spray some fuel in the
breather.
Someone said to try to unhook the hot wire for about 15 minutes
from the battery
Said it might reset computor
