are you sure it was water? if so WHY would any one do that.
why have you only changed 2 plugs not all of them.

 

you sure that was an automotive shop you took the car to? 'cuz it sounds more like a pool / spa shop..... They're the only ones I can think of who might think it's a good idea to spray water at a motor to see if it ingests any.....

Basic repair: if it's worse after your procedure than before, then you need to look at what you did and figure-out why. I'd be interested in why you only changed 2 plugs, not 6? What did you change them with? properly gapped?

I might be inclined to suggest you have water in your plug-wire boots!

Jut a update on my post i changed the back 3 plugs not 2 as my post says sorry. After looking closer i had the back vacum hose wes off.Ran great after installing yes i am a idot lol. Asfar as the water goes i am sure that is not the proper way but i did the same thing when i worked on cars years ago. Just a light mist around gasket and you can hear idol change if there is a leak there. I am sure it is not the right way but it works. Thanks all kirk

 

Kirk,

Good to hear you got it fixed.

Thanks for posting the successful resolution to the rough running issue.
