i was in a exact same scenario two years ago.
Heres what you need to do
Take off the spark plug wires and let em dry good then take your spark plugs out and clean em. if you noticed your plug wire might be moist. so after taking your wires and the plugs out take a CLEAN piece of cloth and clean the cylinders (where the plugs go) until you are sure its dry. After all this put everything back together and it should be fine.
PS: oh and if you are really picky after wiping it with the cloth use a hair dryer to completely dry it
