Default help 4x4 not starting

Hi please can somebody help me.(4x4 saph)
I Fitted new samco coolant hoses on my car and when taking one of the top hoses off water spilled over the dizzy cap so when i came to start it no 4 would not fire and the car started on three cylinders but once i used wd40 on the dizzy cap and put it back together the car won't even fire.
I have had a mechanic look at it and he suggested the spark was not strong enough from the coil, so we replaced the coil, rotor arm & dizzy cap for genuine ford items and the car still wont start,
There is a spark at all four plugs and they all get wet from the fuel, also i have checked all plugs and leads and cant find anything wrong.
I would be very greatfull if someone could give me some advise to sorting my problem out Thanks.
