I would guess that at least one of your plugs got wet when you washed the engine bay. I was throwing misfire codes a month ago, but it turned out to be injectors. Check your plugs first, they are cheap and pretty easy to get out smile.gif

Well, it could just be a connector on one of the injectors that got wet, clean all of the connections on the plugs, distributer, coil, injectors, and if that doesn't fix the problem, post up your exact fault codes so we can help you out a bit more.

I personally doubt that the injectors got messed up out of all of the things that could go wrong with spraying your engine with water, my money is on plugs.
