I'd say just give it more time. Change your plugs because you may have fouled them. Damn nice car though.

this happened to me about a year ago. i had checked the oil and didnt push the dipstick all the way down so when i washed it water got in with the oil. i figured this out after i drove it around and it drove like crap. after i drove it around for awhile it went back to driving fine. give it some time and it will be okay.

Damn sexy car dude!

What happens when you get the coils and the plugs wet they foul. This happened to me when I had a leak in my thermostate housing causing coolant to leak all over my driver's side of my motor. Change the plugs and use wire dry on the coil boots. That might help.

The Bosches are supposed crap and over priced. Get NGKs or Autolite platnums. Your s/c right? If so look for some NGKs.
