Default cadillac el dorado touring having starting problems after pressure washing the engine

hey everyone my name is Eddie
my cadillac had lost its power for an unknown reason so i started replacing stuff as spark plugs, sparkplug wires map sensor tps sensor gas pressure valve erg sensor o2 sensors and it still wasnt running good at all
so i desconected a coilpack and it could see the eletricity jumping from one side to the other so i plug them right back.
i desconected another one and wasnt doing anything at all
so i stopped and got all excited went to the autoparts store got a new one replaced it n started working better but not good as i wanted to.
so i went back n checked the other 2 coilpacks i didnt checked and i found out another one wasnt working so i replaced the other one and the thing was working great as never before.
so i got all excited and decided to wash the engine
(huge mistake!!!)
the car started shacking after that and started smelling weird
i took it home n checked the car it took me a long time and i finally
found out that the coil packs that i didnt replaced had stop working so i replaced them and since that day my car has problems to start
i have to crank it 3 long times times before it starts.
i already spent over 1,000 and i still cant figure out whats wrong with the car.
i been having this problem foe like 2 months and i have no idea of what it could be has anyone had this problem before if anyone can please help me out so i can fix it.
thanks

coils / coil packs would be highly suspicious.
