The first thing I thought you'd do when you removed the airbox was to cover the open throttle body, to prevent anything from falling into it. I would also recommend that you brush and blow off, or vacuum off, the valve cover prior to removing any of the spark plug coils, again, to prevent any debris from falling into the spark plug wells. And, as you commented, it's also a good time to clean the throttle body, and the MAF sensor.

Did you ever get feedback on the water? And I see you linked Throttle and Intake Cleaner, how do I use that? I'm new to he DIY scene

[@YOUCanFixAnythingAuto]

Yes, it was just surface water around the spark plugs. You can buy throttle body and intake cleaner are Walmart or any auto parts store. There will be instructions on the can and the person helping check you out should be able to instruct you how to do it. Let me know how it goes and if you have any additional questions!

What are those deposits on the spark plugs and what do they indicate?

[@YOUCanFixAnythingAuto]

Great question! They were just normal deposits due to age.
