Honestly check everything to make sure nothing has gotten inside of anything internally.......for ex: your distributer, airbox (cai); make sure no water has gotten inside connectors ( btwn were the male and female ends meet), if at most you might gotten the wrong thing wet, and now it might just need to be dried..........

You're crazy man. yea, i kno. but what else would i use to RINSE it? just following the advice of some friends who do the same thing and have no problems.

I would've wipe it off with a damp rag. Glad you found the problem though. Did you take any before and after pics?
