Ok, today it was a beautiful day outside so I decided to wash my car, I had a few extra quarters left so I decided to spray down my engine bay. I did this and started to drive home, on the drive home the engine was acting erratically and threw a flashing CEL, I happened to be near an autozone and I was able to use their obd 2 scanner. 3 codes came up.

P301- Cylinder 1 Misfire
P302-Cylinder 2 Misfire
P1399- Random cylinder misfire.

So, I cleared the codes, checked to make sure all of my plug wires were connected, and started to head home again. 2 miles later I had another CEL. What is causing this problem?

I did plugs and plug wires <20k miles ago.. could it be a coil?

Thanks in advance!

 

Maybe you got a little moisture in the dist cap, or water down into the spark plug tubes.
I'll bet that after driving the car until it gets to full operating temp, the problem will go away.

 

any other ideas?
