Pull spark plug leads and use compressed air to blow out any moisture that may have got down into plug "tubes".
Make sure spark plug leads are dry.
Pull distributor cap and check for moisture in cap and/or distributor. 94

But at any rate , you can run to the auto parts store and use there computer analyzer for free. Should take a couple of minutes to figure out.

yeah, quit thread jacking, go start your own
-op- how often do you pressure wash the engine bay? You said "like usual" is why I ask. I typically try to stay away from any high pressure water around electrical components, it can push the water into some unusual spots especially if you dont take any precautions. The CEL is probably flashing because of the bad misfire (that can damage your cat.conv. ). do what fcm said and report back
