Default cleaned the motoer and now car runs rough...

i cleaned the car today, waxed, and washed the motor. now it runs rough. i took off the distributor cap and it was dry in there. it also makes a click noise coming from behind the drivers head light. only one click, like onnce every couple minutes while on idle. what could be the problem?

The #4 plug hole was filled to the top of the spark plug with water. i took out the water with a turkey baster and vacume hoses. car runs good again. here's a pic of the clean engine.
