I had brought my supra for the regular do-it yourself car wash but this time i decided to do an engine wash also and i realize now that was worst decision i could've made because now the engine is running on 2-4 cylinders instead of the should be 6. It won't even idle well enough to drive it to the nearest shop and when i opened the spark valley i realized that there was about 1/2 inch of water sitting on top of the sparkplugs in the spark valley. Even after sucking all the water out and replacing spark plugs with new ngk's and i also replaced the wires with new msd's and still it is not running as good as if i didn't reaplce anything so i'm guessing it might be that the coils are gone bad or maybe even the maf meter because when i unplugged the maf it ran the same unplugged as it did plugged in so give me your opinions on what i should be replacing.
Running really bad?? After Engine Wash

got a leaf blower ? fan ? sun out ?
all of the above... pop hood blow all as much as you can with leafe blower... then put prop a fan pointing to engine and in direct sunlight.... try it later one see how it does....
Now this is just my opinun of what you should do.. nothing more or less
also pull apart all the plugs you can find and blow them out...
At first i was thinking this just happen ...but you may still have water shorting a plug out someplace..

the car had been sitting out in the sun all day with hood up and everything wide open and i vacuumed all the water out of the engine with a wet/dry shop vac. so it really should be dried out by now but i could try it again and see if there is still water but except i know that my maf is gone because even when i unplugged it the car had started the same as when it was plugged in.
Might want to check all the ignition connections like Hommer suggested...igniter, coil packs, AFM, etc.
I had a 200sx drove threw puddle that turned out to be 2 feet deep.. hydrolocked motor.. got all that taken care of still would not run.. took the maf apart and its one of them sealed and not ment to come back apart...
it was full of water... dryed it out and got lucky
car ran just fine...

Pulled your wires off and didn't write the order down huh?
Gee, no one's ever done that before
Coil pack order, left to right:
1-6-3-4-2-5

^^ yup yup, it will just fall on it's face as soon as you touch the throttle. I remember one time I forgot to plug it it, I was going crazy for like 5 min trying to figure out what I screwed up.
lol I think just about every time I have removed the AFM i've forgotten to plug it back in..I always realize it immediately.
If water some how made its way into your AFM, it might be toast.
Check all the easy stuff first though. Check all connectons and make sure they're dry.
Look at your CPS, usually these things have cracked dust covers so theres a chance water made its way in there.
