engine wash problem, engine is missing
 
I've done a search and seen that this has happened before. I have already replaced my distributor cap/rotor/spark plugs. It got better but is far from fixed. My next guess is distributor. I took apart my distributor right after it happened and I didnt find any water or moisture. So i'm stumped here. If it is the distributor, what part of it could be bad?

I'm open to any ideas.

i just sprayed with engine cleaner at the car wash

the car idles very rough. if i hit WOT i can only go to 3-4rpm. the engine shakes alot. I think it has to do with something in the distributor.

you should always cover the dizzy with a bag when u wash the engine bay
so are u running limp mode?

i dont think its in limp mode, but i'm not sure. my cel light doesnt work because my gay skunk hareness is wired wrong. i swaped out ignitors and coils... still the motor shakes as before.

so far I have swapped out TPS sensors/ coil/ignitor.. what should i try next?

If your harness is butchered it could be really anything specially when you cant check cel's

check the plugs to your dizzy, they could have water in them.

Make sure that the wires on the ignitor are tight, you might have bumped a connector.

like they all said, check all connectors for water. or start it and let idle for like half an hour to dry up the engine bay
