VSC and TRAC OFF lights

How is it going all?
After washing my 02Runn4r last night (the engine bay and the truck itself) I parked her and let her sit over night and through the afternoon. I went to go start her, and she started up fine. I then noticed she was acting a little stuttery on acceleration an on idle. I pulled her over and threw it into neutral, and revved it a couple of time (as I thought I might still have some water on the belts) and yet it still occurred.
I didn't think to much of it as I this has happend last time I washed the bay. The engine light would blink a couple times then shut off.

A couple hours later after practice I started to drive it home, and noticed the
VSC and TRAC OFF lights as well as the engine lights were all on driving home with the very noticeable stutter among idle and acceleration. As I came home I asked my dad about it, (Pretty knowledgable about cars) we took the houses off, cleaned them of any gunk that may have built up in there if any at all. Yet the problem remains.
:wtf::wtf::wtf:
Can anyone help me out with this problem and how to solve it? The car has stuttered after a bay wash, but did go away. But not this time...
Thanks guys!

Hmmm. Maybe when you were washing the engine bay, water got into some place where it shouldn't have. Possibly something electrical hence the CEL and Traction Control lights coming on. I'm not really mechanically inclined but, I'm sure someone on here may have a better clue.
 
Some h20 might of got under coil packs which would explain stutter , acceleration & check engine light.
Pull the packs make sure boots are dry.
 
Thank you for your input BigMike

I will check the boots to see if they are dry. Thank you for your help. I will get back to you if that fixed it.
