Can the coil packs fail from too much moisture

When installing the WEVO SS Engine mount, we took the opportunity to really clean around the engine (using simple green, brushes and lots of water). We scrubbed the heck out of it. However I cannot imagine that the engine / drivetrain runs that rough with the WEVO SS mount installed. Maybe one of the coil packs failed or shorted out? The motor sounds and runs very rough....like it is missing a cylinder or something. At idle, it seems fine, but as you run through the rev range, it has different vibration and sound characteristics. Strange.......

So my question, has anyone experienced a coil pack failure because they got the coil pack too wet? Would you get a CEL light if the car was running on less than 6 cyl? Perplexing.....
