Let me know what happens when you are able to disconnect the battary.

so what should i do if that doesn't work?!

ok, took the distro cap off, absolutely no water at all. wiped it off anyways, still no change.
disconnected the battery for over an hour and wiped down the terminal, still no change.

any other suggestions?!? or did i just mess up the electronics?!?

I would say that we need to find out for sure what those warning lights are. If you cant tell then maybe someone else can get on here that knows or can look at their car or owner books. I dont have my car or books available right now to look at. You could also see if any codes come up.

i know the one by the fuel and temp gauge is the ABS light.
as far as the other light is an ! with a triangle around it, thats about the tach

Well the light that you described sounds like a general coution light. My supra is in storage in the states (I didnt want to bring it to Guam) so I cant look at it. I bet if you checked for codes you would get something.

ok so. took distributor cap off, no water, dried it anyways. disconnected battery, wiped of terminals; nothing. waiting for night to start the engine to see if i could see sparks coming from any of the plugs, nothing. connected E1 & TE1 to run check, no check engine blinks; tried connecting them with the ignition on, and connected them with ignition off then turn on, nothing.

dont know what to do now. going go buy a new battery and see if thats the problem, doubt it but its worth a try.

if anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to share please!!?

It could be a vacuum leak. Perhaps your spraying in the engine bay dislodged a hose. Pressurize your intake to find the leak.
