Default Car is fouling.

Cut and buffed my car today and after I washed everything REALLY good to get the compound off. I got the bay pretty good. Just started the car up and the service light came on and the slip light also came on. Car is missing pretty bad. Do you guys think I might have got water in the plugs?

Plugs are sealed from the top by the cap. May have got water in the connectors for the coils though.

Ok I figured it out. I have that aftermarket harness that you dont have to cut. I unplugged the aftermarket harness and plugged the OEM straight in without using the SS vortech box. I guess my SS box is no good cause the car is running great. So what now? Can I call Vortech and get a new box?

It would appear the Vortech SS boxes do not like water.
