WTF, i just typed like a million words on what happend and my little bro hit the ESC key, clearing it all out.

CLIFF NOTES:

I drove the car after washing the engine, i coverd the intake, knock sensor, and the alternator. I washed it good, detailed it and left it sittting all day while i went to school. When i got home i went to rent a movie when it starting shaking violently after 7psi, felt like a cyl dropping. So i went home and checked the spark plugs for water, so number 4 had some in it, i used compressor to get the water out, and took it for another ride, it did the same thing. So now the plug wires are off on both sides, and im letting them dry overnight. What could be wrong?

Another thing, when i stopped the frist time form the movies, and popped my hood, i heard a gurgleing sizzle sound comming from what looked like under the heat sheild on the manifold. I dont know wtf it was, but it went on for about 2 min and then stopped.
 
same thing happened when I used gunk...I dont know what it is but it just burns off and runs fine after a while.
 
Update:


It is still doing it, someone informed me it is prob my coilpack, wtf, i didnt cover it
 
yes check your coil pack. that shit happened to me when i was 16 and only covered the intake filter in my celica.
