It could be a fuel pump relay stuck.

I agree... could be the fuel pump relay stuck because you washed the engine. When you turn the key to the 'on' position, you should hear the fuel pump run for a second or two. If not, then you're not getting fuel to the motor.

fuel pump relay is in the engine compartment fuse box (relays are bigger than fuses and all in a row to one side) let me know if you still have trouble I can look on my 93' for a better discription.
