Default A/C & Smog delete now running rough? HELP!!

Hi, i just did the a/c and smog delete 2day and just got back from doin a lil test drive. I did all the normal install things, but i also used a powerwasher to clean some grease and stuff i had built up(bad valve cover gaskets). When i first started it up it sounded fine ran good all that but after like 5 miles if i would hit the gas it would bog down or get real jerky, WOT is useless does nothing but jerk. Another thing i mite add is that the car never did start right, i would always have to crank it for a while b4 it would start to fire(maybe fuel pump?). Any help or suggestions i would really appreciate Jon

Bad move on the power washer. Pull the distributor cap off and see if it's wet inside. If so, dry it off.
