Fuel injector question

Got my fuel injector plugs wet on my '90 L98 coupe.

Now it runs really rough (chugs really hard). Assuming I shorted a plug, what should I be looking at to replace or repair?

Thanks

How did they get wet ? Can't see that as a problem, sounds like you washed the motor and maybe got moisture in distributor cap and wires.

I was actually flushing the radiator system, and wasn't paying attention to the hose, and water went everywhere under the hood. I checked around the distributor cap (took it off and looked at it), and I didn't see any moisture. Before getting wet, everything ran fine. Now, it is so violent it's not drive-able. Pulling the inj 1 fuse causes the car to immediately die upon starting. inj 2 lets the car run. This is why I figured it had to do with the injectors.

Thanks for the reply!

So, turns out the problem is related to air in the cooling system. But I've split the thread now. My bad.
