    GL 2.0L no start

    just got the car a GL 2.0L auto.My son helped wash the engine compartment and now the engine wont start it cranks and i dried everything out.The battery was disconnected during the wash and also now the stock radio does not work dont have the security code.Checked spark and fuel seem ok.Fuek pump runs for a short time then stops when you turn key to ignition.At a bit of a loss to what direction to take next.Any thoughts from you experienced golf mk3 guys would be great.The car is for my son he is so happy with it but it wont run!!!.Looking at a code reader also maybe a fault is logged in the ecu.
