Is it OK to pressure wash truck engine?

Yes, it is possible but you must protect the distributor, fuse box, alternator and all other electrical parts with a waterproof bag/plastic wrap before you begin jetting your engine with water. Other components like air filters are also susceptible to damage.
Can washing engine cause misfire?
Any moisture can cause faulty spark which leads to rough idle and misfire. I had a similar problem a few weeks ago because water got under my coil pack. I recommend using dielectric grease on all spark plugs, etc to deter water from getting in.
What happens if you get water in your coil pack?
When the coil gets wet, or there is moisture near it, there is enough of a path for some (or all) of the spark energy to get out right through the insulation. This in turn can lead to spark plug and ignition coil failure. Water intrusion is an unlikely, and therefore, overlooked cause of ignition coil damage.
