[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16639090, member: 70025"] Hello Todd, First off all you didn't do anything stupid or dumb. I pressure wash the engine compartments in my Roush, Cobras and wifes F150 all the time. It sounds like you got water in something electrical and the water is causing a grounding effect. I know you said you replaced the plugs. Did you check your distributor? Open it up and make sure the cap and components are completely dry. Also, on your 93 do you have that electrical connector on the side of your distributor? There may be water in there. Also check the shortning plug near the distributor as well. I'm not sure what is on your 93, but my 89 GT had these components. Basically anything that is electrical and is responsible for sending spark to your engine needs to be checked for water. The things I mentioned plus coil, MSD box if you have one, etc. Good luck brother.
