I washed my motor and my car is runing bad
I have a b16a I think water got in to my distributor. I covered it with a shirt when i washed it and it did not look wet after washing it. The car actully ran fine for a couple of hours. Now it feels like it is running on onley 2 cylinders off and on mustly when i try to gas it it stumbles.. It has been like this for 3 days now. Iwas hopeing it would dry out on its own and be ok. What do you guy think.

pull your spark plug wires....probably have a ton of water in there causing a missfire....just take air and blow water out....you should be good to go!

I doubt it would be that, but its worth a try. I would check out all the connectors to make sure there dry but its possible you friend a module by getting it wet, good luck...........
