I recently degrease my wifes 1990 miata, and had the same trouble.
i found that being twin cam . the water had gotten down in to the spark plugs.
I first removed the plug leads, then blew out the water with compressed air.
then removed the plugs and wiped clean, with a rag down the spark plug holes, then finished with a clean of contact cleaner , then reassembles and yay no more splutter
.
so spark plugs were shorting cause it was all wet down in there ?
