Misfire!

Washed the '95 Taco last night and it was like 33* Farenheit out.. Yeah I know, anyways It got cold, and I washed the engine bay, let it sit at a buddies house for an hour or so and drove home, on the way home it felt as if it were only running on five cylinders, and you could hear it from the exhaust too, you think I got somethin wet? What should I do? Never had this problem before..

Chances are you got water down a spark tube..

Pull wires/coils..inspect for dampness..blow out spark plug tubes and coil/wire boots with compressed air(an airduster will work in a pinch)put some dielectric grease inside the boot ends that go over spark plugs..reassemble.

Pulling codes/history might point you to the damp tube(s).
