- take an extra spark plug hook it to one of the leads and ground it and confirm you'll see spark when cranking. If not then it's on to more diagnostics and might lead you to one or both of the flywheel sensors (common issue) or something more involved like the DME itself.

I hope you mean brake cleaner. I can't imagine pouring brake fluid into the intake.
