I pressure washed my bay of my b18c and noticed there was water in the cyl 1 spark plug hole. With the engine OFF I removed all the wires to inspect for water. there was about an inch in cyl 1. I replaced the other wires to their homes and proceeded to clean the water out of the hole with a rag and screw driver.

there was a little bit left I couldn't get, and my old man suggest I just run the engine and let the water evaporate. When I fired it up it ran for about 45 seconds and died.
The wire was arching off the valve cover a few times so I moved it, it might have crossed another wire.
after then getting all the water dried up by hand I tried to crank my car over. No Spark. On any cylinder.

After inspecting the inside of the distributor cap I noticed there was quite a bit of dust and marks like it was arching everywhere, the rotor was kinda marked up as well.

Could I have fried my ignition coil? Any one have input thanks. I'm really stressed out.

It's an EJ8 with a B18C swap. ITR ECU.

Okay that's what I'm thinking too easy fix. I feel like such a jackass....
Could have been easily prevented. I learn the hard way always.

It sounds like you probably ought to replace the cap and rotor while you're at it.

Yes I plan on it.
