Had this happen on one of my DSM's. I had let it all dry out and still no start. Found the CAS had water inside. Had to oven bake it dry till it would work again. Glad you got her going.

I would pull the plugs out and clean them.

There is no way OP could have hydro locked it or messed up his engine by washing it with water right guys ?

Is it to risky to rinse it with water ?

No need to pull the plugs.
No way to hydro lock a motor.
You can still have this miss fire symptom when you add water into the equation.

Check the spark plug wells again. Spray them with wd 40 and inside the boot.

I've had this happen on my 96 years ago.

X2 what @shootmymime said. Most people don't know this...but WD-40 was devolved for NASA to remove water from electrical components. Hence the WD...water displacement. And on the 40th attempt...they had a formula that worked...and poof, there you have it WD-40. It wasn't until later, people began using it as a lube.

Anyway, just like shootmymime said...spray the spark plug well and boot with the WD-40 and it will remove all the moisture. You should be in business...unless its a coil!

I clean my engine compartment at least every 6 months. I never cover anything other than my deckplate. I also pull all the electrical connections and put some di electric grease in them at the same time.

Sorry I just got home from work. I was having a problem with the coil before, but temporary fixed it before completely messing it up when washing. At first I pulled the coils and boots for 5 hours and that didn't solve anything so I just ordered a denso coil off of amazon for 60 and its been running perfect ever since

It does help to know which cylinder is misfiring though so you can also order a scanner on amazon
