Will somebody please help me diagnose a problem with my car?
I washed my car with the hood down, but I did spray the grill good. The engine was not running. I do have the cold air intake mounted on my car.
I went to start up my car and run it but the thing was idling really rough and the check engine light started flashing.
I pulled the following codes;
P0300
P0305
Which indicates #5 is not firing.
This does not look good does it? Did I crack a piston when I started the car and water was sucked in?
The dealer will never warranty this because of my mods. Any suggestions?

Not necessarily anything to panic about.
Check your spark plug, the plug wire, the coil pack connection, clear the code, and try it again. It could very well be gone.
If it is not gone, try switching the spark plug, plug wire, and/or coil pack with another cylinder and see if the problem moves. Also check the injector connection.

Dry your air filter get the water out. Replace the wet plug. Good to go. Don't get the air filter wet!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck. Andy

Update: I had a cracked plug on #5 The outside ceramic was split down to the core and it must have been arcing. I pulled it out to inspect it. Put in a new one and my problems cleared up.
Thanks for all the help.
