Yea dont pressure wash the bay without covering important electronic parts up. Who knows what you got water into by doing that

I would pull the distributor cap and check for moisture, then spray with some wd40

"Help" really doesn't narrow things down much. Threads are usually about someone needing help, or sharing their experience.

And if someone was searching later for a similar problem and soultion, the title really reduces the ability to find useful information.

....other than that.....

Stick to at most garden hose pressure under the hood, and avoid all electrical components (or cover them). Those electrical connectors are designed to keep rain water out, not water coming out the nozzle of a pressure washer.

Let it dry out and consider going through the electrical plugs under the hood with dielectric grease as suggested.
