Hmm... I have cleaned my engine many times at the car wash with high pressure, never had a single problem. I do the same thing with the rest of my family's cars after I work on them to clean them up. I am fairly careful though not to blast the crap out of sensitive things... it would seem strange that you got water down in the plug hole, especially when you were just spraying with a hose? Is this plug wire you speak of in good condition? I really don't think it should leak that bad so as to allow a low pressure hose to fill the plug hole with water.

And by the way, take good advice when it is given to you... jackasssi has been telling you to dry out the plug hole over and over. Have you done it yet? Its a pretty common knowledge thing that water and spark do not mix well. Dry the hole and try again!

Umm, I hate to break this to you, but that's not because people are driving around with water in their combustion chambers. A natural byproduct of burning gasoline is H20(very small amounts...not like you are going to have water pouring out). Not to mention, your engine takes air in, which would get moisture in the ambient air. On a cold day, it will condense inside the muffler and drip out until the engine warms up. The steam coming out is the condensed water.

If you don't have a vacuum, take some paper towel and put it in there, then use tongs or if you can use chopsticks, take out the wet paper towel
