Washed the engine! Started misfiring, got it home. Changed the plugs wires an coil packs. Now it will not start. Note: got it to start when I took the fuel pump relay out. Only for about thirty seconds then it shut off and will start back with relay out. Help please!

Double check the plugs and coils. Then unplug every sensor and connector you can find and spray some contact cleaner in it before reconnecting. The symptoms indicate water intrusion into a connection. The hard part will be finding it.
