Answer
Well, I can't tell you what is wrong with your car. I can tell you that your engine didn't go bad while the mechanic was checking codes. The coils also did not go bad while your mechanic was checking your codes.

Motors aren't really supposed to be washed. When you wash them you can get water inside the electrical connectors and that can cause your vehicle to not start.

The reason your check engine light was flashing originally is because there was at least one cylinder misfiring. This would have shown up on the code reader. I'm not sure why your mechanic didn't see it.

The first thing I would do is get the car towed to a good mechanic. If he does and says what you said he does then he has no idea what he is doing.
