Ok I never had this problem before. I was at the car wash and I wanted 2 was my motor and engine bay. After I was done everything was fine until I got to tha house and it killed by itself. It started back up and ran fine for about 7 minutes then it killed itself again. So I tried to drive it and it kills while driving. I need help!!!

Might want to check your air cleaner and make sure it's not soaked. May not be getting enough air.

What about your mass air flow sensor, what condition is it in maybe you got it dirty when cleaning and it fouled up the sensor bars or and this is out there as a possibility but maybe while pressure washing you sprayed the mass sensor plug and it unpluged itself just a few other possibilities.

Most likely got some electrical component wet like the distributor. See if sitting overnight makes a difference.

Have you checked the drains in the bottom of the distributor?
All of the plug wires still securely connected to both the distributor cap & the spark plugs? I have seen wires walk off the distributor cap due to air getting trapped inside.
