    You got some moisture into the electrical system when you washed the engine.

    I agree with twinkiedooter. Remove the distributor cap and see if you have moisture in there. If so, wipe it out and hit with a can of compressed air.

    . Spark plug wires. Spray with WD-40, which will displace moisture and help prevent secondary voltage from shorting out. If this solves the problem, it indicates the spark plug wires need replacing.

    . Distributor Cap. Moisture can develop inside the distributor cap. Make sure to use a ventilated cap with a good O-ring. It's important for the O-ring to seal properly between the cap and housing. Coat the O-ring with silicone grease. If moisture has developed, dry the inside of the cap with a paper towel and spray with WD-40, wiping off the excess.
