I took my car to a car wash last week on tuesday ( 5/8/07 ) and when i got it back its been acting wierd, then on thursday it blew up pretty much, wouldnt start, and stuff so i pop the hood and take ouot a ignition coil to check spark plug and its flooded, so then i put the ignition coil back in then after about 5 minutes or trying to start it it starts then the ignition coil that i took out pops and breaks. I got a new one yesterday ( 5/14/07 ) and put it in and started my car, everything was going good, letting it idle for a little getting it cleared up of water and gas then my cars dies and the same ignition coil pops again. when your looking at the engine from the front its the middle one on the right. i need help i have no clue what it would be

just trying to understand the problem better, you washed the engine? at a carwash? with the ighpressure hose? then the engine started sputtering and running poorley or not at all? you decided that the #4 coil pack was the problem and replaced it and the car was back to running fine then without other cause it repeated the same symptoms taht appeared after the wash? that abotu right?

have you checked the PTU? or at least the electrical connectors on the PTU? also the electrical connector on the MAS, you should unplug them and all your coil packs, hit them with some wire drier and a dab of die-electric grease and see if the symptoms improve
