well after washing my engine bay and driving home about 2 miles the engine started bogging and wanted to stall. i had to keep revving the motor to keep it running.
when i got home, i cleaned the TPS and MAF sensor and tried wiggling all the wires and the injector wires and its still wanting to stall. what do you guys think?
idle bogging after engine bay wash HELP PLEASE!!

That problem usually goes away after a couple of days later. Water got in somewhere.

Check where the sparkplugs go, some water might have gotten in. I washed my engine a while back and had some water on plug #3, the car sounded like a subaru so i grabbed some towels and removed as much water as i could, it ran fine after that.

ive done the same thing. water gets around your spark plugs and sits their. which fowels out your plugs. i just ran it till it got hot, parked it, and pulled off all of the plug wires. eventually the water evaporated and it ran fine.
