Check the spark plug boots. Water probably got down in there and is grounding the spark. Spark will always take the path of least resistance to ground. The spark plug is not it.

My mechanic found water and cleaned out around the spark plugs, and replaced the plugs. (info I just received) I wonder if the coil pack could have been affected?

Modern engines depend so much on electronics to run correctly, its best to avoid power washing the engine compartment.

Still misfiring. I am a bit discouraged with the detail shop. I did not ask to have the engine washed.

I'd have the coil pack checked out.
