You may have gotten water into the engine harness or the igniter. You may need to open each connector and make certain they are all dry.
Weak spark is likely due to a weak ignition coil. Replace the ignition coil and ignition condenser as a set.

Ditto on the ign coil. It's the case of the straw that broke the camel's back.
Not that big a job. Buy an OEM coil

i check the spark again and its strong.. do u think its possible that the timing belt slipped a tooth or two. because i have gas.. i have spark...everything is dry now i have new plugs new wires, cap and rotor. the timing belt is only a few months old but someone told me that they think the timing belt is not as tight as it should be and that the tension bar might be worn out that keep the belt tight. since i washed it water might casue it to slip and now the whole car is off time which is causing it to not start...does this make sense to anybody?
