quick background on whats happening because im DESPERATE for some help!!!

car has been at the paint shop for 9 months getting done. just got it back beautiful as ever and im starting to clean it up. engine bay is destroyed from all the over spray and paint dust in the place. pissed off, i decide to try and clean everything with lacquer thinner...not working. i decide to then wash the engine bay down with de-greaser and pressure wash everything.
i cover up the air filter with a bag so it doesnt get wet. i never got close enough to anything to harm it. i have an osculating head on the washer so its not just a straight blast. Afterwards, i changed the oil and washed the air filter. The car sat for a week not touch, moved, or anything...
i tried driving it to a car show 2 days ago and everything seemed fine until i left......
the car starts fine. the car revs fine. if i put the engine under a load it sounds like a machine gun. the worse stutter i have ever heard.
i checked the spark plug...valleys lets call em. there was a VERY small amount of water in a few. i blew them out and dried was ever was left with a towel. i unplugged the injectors because i read that a bad connection could cause this. i left everything open and unplugged for an entire day. last night, i hooked everything back up, plugged in the injectors and took it for a drive. same thing. first gear, about 3000-3500 rpm 50% throttle pure machine gun. put it in neutral or press the clutch and it will rev to 7000 rpm no problem. WTF?!?!?!?

any ideas?

check your harness where ever it could have got wet and see if somethings exposed thats where i'd start...
