The intermittent stalling did happen the day after I washed the engine bay, but I did have a fuel leak which seemed to start quite a few days before I washed the engine bay.

I had covered many electrical parts in plastic bags before washing so it may just be a coincidence. I also checked the spark plugs out and there was no water.

I suspect that I have a fuel pressure issue which may have caused the leak.

The car is now not starting at all when cold in the morning. Yesterday it started fine in the afternoon when it is a bit warmer. Not sure if the temperature is the cause or just coincidence.

I put my spare fuel pump in last night and it ran fine but wouldn't start this morning. It just cranks and cranks and starts popping and banging inside the engine bay.
