oh noes :( water in engine

[Drifte]

I was feeling good today so i thought i would give my car a good car wash. Since i had installed a new radiator the night before i thought i would hose off the radiator and hoses. Btw this car has 40k on it all new parts and rediculously maintained.

so i wash it wax it; then go to start it to go to work. starts, miss miss dies. ok, maybe some water made it to a plug wire or something. nope dry, maf; yes wet. so i let it dry, and go ahead and change my oil with mobil-1 10-30 again. still no change. sounds like its running on 2 or 3 cylinders. At rpms above idle it runs smoother.

whats wrong??!! please tell me i didnt hydrolock my engine ! im a brokeass college student

take out the spark plugs and see if there is water inside of the cylinders.

no water on plugs or on pistons. I turned it over with mpfi fuse out and it turned over like nothing was wrong. (no bent rods/cracked pistons). So im hoping this is electrical? unplugged spark plug wire to #4 and it ran exactly the same as it had been. So maybe water in the coil pack or something? if my logger worked i would try to check anything.

Definitely check if you are getting spark to each plug. Also, if you know anybody to swap coil packs with, that would rule that out quickly.
