Default Engine Bay Got Wet.

So i was cleaning my engine bay, covered up the dizzy, battery, sparkplugs, and etc, and sprayed it down with simple green max, so after i cleaned it up, all was well, left it on idle for 5 mins to dry it out, after that everything was good till i went to my garage and shut it off, came back to it, it started misfiring, and cel came on, i checked the sparkplug wires, and hole, and sprayed compressed air into it, so everything would be dry, opened the dizzy cap, and check the rotor, everything was dry, but the car is sounding like a helicopter when i push down the pedal real hard, and sounds like its misfiring, i threw codes of 0300 0301 0302, which are cylinder misfire 1 & 2. so anyone can help me?

Hmm.. sounds like water did get into your cylinder or dizzy somehow.. (although it looks dry)

Pull the plugs again.. then pull the ecu fuse and crank the car.. see if water shoots out.. also try replacing the plugs..

i would say the water got into some of the engine harness plugs and may have shorted out somewhere causing the ecu to trip out

ok, sparkplugs and wires are good, i do get a unsteady idle, tried the ecu fuse thingy, and no water shoots out, im thinking the dizzy cap and rotor might need to be replaced..
