Default Miss after pressure wash

Yes I have read the 400 million others.

I took out the two front and two rear plugs and there was some water in them. Cleaned them off and there was still a miss. I also noticed there was a tear in my coil wire, so I replaced that.

I put dielectric grease in a lot of electrical connectors. No dice.

I cannot figure out what else it might be. After I did my tune up a few months ago, I could never get the vacuum lines routed right, so it idled a little higher than normal.

When I drive the car now, it stutters and misses in the lower RPM range. It cuts in and out when you floor it.


I'm lost, out of patience, and close to selling this car because of all the stress I am given from it.

Never mind I figured it out.

However my vacuum line problem still exists. Can anyone point me to a better vacuum help? I can't figure the one out on the hood and neither can my friends.

It idles high but drives fine. And occasionally the TRAC light pops on as well.....but if you shut the car off and turn it back on it goes away. This all started after doing the tune up and I think its from the vac lines.

I have no clue what is up with the vac lines. I know they aren't in the right spots. Car still actually gets about 25MPG combined because I baby the living hell out of her.

TPS and all thats fine.
