Default My car seems to have lost a couple cylinders...HELP

So I go to town to ride around in my 02 ss 6 speed and mess with a couple GrannyTurds and go run my car through the car wash so I can look good kickin their asses....well I get the automatic wash and it has a undercarriage spray...long story short....about 20 minutes later after casual cruising through town...it all the sudden starts vibrating and making my Y-pipe hit my driver side sfc...I pull over without a flashlight of course...and check all but the back plug wire cuz I can't get to it or see it...but it's not smoking or dying...just sounds like it lost a couple cylinders...doesn't knock or anything just seems to be missing terribly...I limped it 25 miles back to my house and it vibrates super bad off idle and smoothes out a good enough to drive...I just got this damn thing so if I've really f'd it up I'm gonna be pissed...let me know if you guys need any more info

I'm thinking something electrical...bad plug or wire...coilpacks...cam position sensor????

Any help would be super awesome!!

You may have sucked some water through the intake if the car was on. Try cleaning the MAF and see if gets any better. If you have a SES code it would help point you in the right direction.

If you sucked in some water you'd have a lot bigger problem. It could be lots of things, if you're throwing any codes it's going to help you a lot.

Might have messed up an O2 sensor. They die sometimes when they get really wet.
