Hey Adam,
do you have an aftermarket intake system?
if it sucked water in, it can cause what you're currently experiencing.
Pop the hood and make sure the water filter didn't get soaked.
Next, check your MAF sensor, if that gets wet it can also cause issues.

what do you mean it's 'hanging down'?
as in unplugged?
are the wires frayed at all?
why would the spark plugs go bad after a car wash?
that doesn't really make sense to be honest.

Pictures?
If that's the case I wonder how the car ran before car wash.

And when you say ripped out, do you mean the plug is disconnected or someone cut the wires?
