Default 97 LS400 distributor cap

Hi all,
Yesterday I washed my engine with the engine still running and drove it around for few miles and had no problems.
This morning driving to work and the CEL came on flashing and the car sound like miss firing. Pull the code and came up P0307,P0100,P0110.
P0307 is #7 miss fire, P0100 and P0110 is AMF fault.
I am thinking open the distributor cap and blow dry it but not sure which one is which and how hard to take it off.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanx.

I wanna say that NO. 7 is on the Left (Driver's Side) Engine bank, BUT the Distributor cap for it is on the Right Side (Passenger).
You might wanna do a quick search here on the boards since I'm just going from recent memory.
Either way, check it out is not very difficult, you need to remove all the covers for the Caps and Distributors and then you will see the Spark Plug wires going into it,... assuming you got some water into there you could probably see that easily.
The Caps also have the numbers molded into them some are circled for Right and others for Left.....

Thank you 2eXcel.
The plug #7 and distributor cap both on the driver's side, and I found water inside the plug #7 housing, it took me about one hour to remove everything and the car is fine now.
