1999 s-10 problem

[95civictypeR]

I just got the truck yesterday. Everything was fine, today i decided to detail it.. well i got a wise idea of cleaning the dirt/dust of the engine bay.. with a water hose.. I have done it before to my other rides. I believe it might be the distributor.. I went to auto zone and on the way there I noticed a loss of compression as if it were only fireing off of 1 or 2 cylinders.. anyone have any idea that may help.. :(

Thanks Seth

general rule of thumb....ALWAYS leave the engine running when you rinse it off, Put a plastic bag or so over the distrubitor/coil packs and plug wires. I'd just leave it running for a few hours in the yard and it should straighten out. Is it 2.2 or 4.3?

the motor was hot.. and its a 2.2.. yesterday when i went to auto zone the test said nothing was wrong.. but 9:00pm i took it to advance auto parts, and it said theres a miss fire so today i bought spark plugs and its still doing it... any idea.. im about to buy wires and then a coil pack.. but theres two of them so i have to find out which one it is.. thanks for all the help..

did u take off the distributor cap and wipe it out?

[95civictypeR]

its doesn't have a distrubutor cap.. it has 2 ignition coils i replaced the one that has cylinder 2 and 3 but nothing changed. I also changed the wires and spark plugs. and also changed the TPS and it helped a little bit. im about to change the other coil pack cylinder 1 and 4.. thanks again. Seth

i got it.. i changed the wires, spark plugs, both ignition coils and TPS.. and its running much better... i paid $110 for a free engine bay detail.. haha.. thats fucked up.. thanks for the help..
