Help with P1361 and P1366 Codes

1997 Acura cl 3.0L just turned 200,000 miles, I washed the engine today and now I have the P1361 code - Ignition Coil B Secondary Circuit Failure and the P1366- Ignition Spare code.

Engine Starts and runs but turns off at 3000 rpm...

I know I need to replace the wires, dist cap and rotor now.. What else do I need ??? Thanks

Smile Problem fixed

OK, so it took a day to dry out the engine and then the codes cleared on there own. Car is running perfect again. I found another thread and this happened to another person also, who had a TL. So be careful washing your engine and let it dry out if you get these codes.

or never wash your engine. I dry rag clean mine.

The oils and such that deposit over time are part of the normal life cycle of the engine and keep seals and gaskets in good shape.

When you take a power washer to an engine you run the risk of breaking seals and blasting water into bearings etc.

You don't have to power wash to wash an engine bay you can do some low pressure stuff.

is this really normal?
I got those codes as well.... and I'm scared that I might need to replace something.
Yes, I own a TL.
I didn't even spray hard, i slowly sprayed my engine bay, like a soothing shower.

2003 Acura TL Type S

My car was fine, rinsed the bay a bit then after words drove and it would just shut. I got these same codes. Just hit 100K miles with it.
