had a problem, now its fixed, but still don't understand it

Well my internet has been messed up so i couldnt get online. but last week my car started idling rough and vibrating and threw a code. so i took it to autozone and they went to check it and the fuse to that was blown so they couldnt help me out. brought it to the dealer and the next day i get it back. the code was p0300 and i was told that cylinders 1,2, and 3 had water in them and caused the spark plugs and the ignition to go bad. so if i understand correctly that means i was running on one cylinder? lol.

i'm just curious to see if anyone knows how that could happen? i do have an intake but if water got in it wouldnt it be in all 4 cylinders and not just 1, 2, and 3? dealer didnt seem to make a big deal about my mods though which is a plus!

did you take the spark plugs out and wash your engine with a water hose on full blast, then put the plugs back in?

Water in the Gas !
This will cause it and a pint of gas line antifreeze or fuel conditioner will disperse it .
theres no way there was water in your engine it would go through and condensate immediatly.
The only way is if your head gasket was leaking or you were spraying it in through the injectors.
