Car won't start after washing the engine? Obvious answer is that you got the electrics wet, which is never a good idea. Will require a good dry-out, and possibly application of water displacing oil such as WD40 around the battery terminals, HT leads, distributor, etc etc. Just don't do it again. You don't hose down electrical equipment in your house as well, do you?

Go look and see what you unhooked while under the hood or under the car, retrace the steps you did.

Why does your car die while driving it loses all power suddenly and takes a minute to restart?

To give more info, the car surges before it dies. I can actually keep the car running if I tap the accelerator when I feel it surge. The car also dies at idle. I don't know if this is related or not, but the car easily overheats even with new coolant and thermostat.
