00 Civic SI, 10K miles ago put a MSD external coil, rotor, cap, wires and plugs. Ran great. Washed engine bay as have done dozen times or more since then... now the car runs rough after warming up. Normal for first five minutes or so then starts misfiring, any ideas?

Residual H2O messin with me

No water in 'dizzy cap', has deffinitely had opportunity to dry out. I have taken igintion system completely apart and let sit for a few days after which i cleared codes and reset ECU. I used to have the "cold air" intake by front tire with out fender skirts, so i know what it's like to "drown" the car. Very similar to problem i'm having now, but now is only after the car runs normally for five to six minutes, then it starts acting up (mis firing). curiouser and couriouser...

maybe you should check your plugs. and test your wires.

Come on peeps... someone has to have an idea, all previous ideas tested and not true. Makes me wonder if there is a sensor that is dmaged and tells the car to change timing of the fire, is there such a beast?
