Default 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.

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?

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
