hey guys...i'm new to the jeep scene...just bought a 86 CJ7 lifted with a 304 4spd in it...had a small engine oil leak so i washed down the front passenger side of the engine with a pressure washer making sure i didn't get the iginition wet...now it misfires and doesn't idle anymore. i took the cap off the dist. and made sure there was no moisture and made sure i didn't pull a plug wire and still its doing this...what could it be? the dist. cap looks like new inside.

I  have an 84 258 i6, i put a dui ignition on it cuz of idle problems only to find out it had a little bit of water in the carb, not enough to kill it but a kwick rebuild solved it. also check vacumn lines and distributor wire connetions even a bad ground wire to the block or battery,just do one thing at a time so you know what worked. good luck
