so today i was running some errands and at about 1p.m. i stopped by autozone to pick up my oil to do an oil change. i finished at around 2pm and then i went to the car wash to clean my engine bay cause it was filthy. i went home at around 2:30 and let my car sit.around 9:30pm i went tofill my gas tank so i wouldn't have to do it before work in the morning and it ran like ****.

when i put it in 1st it feels like i'm trying to launch it in third andbogsreally bad. when it's idling it shakes really bad. what's wrong? i put the right oilwith the right amount. and it ran perfectly when i left the car wash so i'm stumped. the check engine light doesn't come on either.

ANY suggestions you have will be appreciated.

 

Water has soaked into the sparkplug wells and is shorting out the spark.Dry everything off and warm the engine fully and the problem will eventually go away.
This could also be a wake-up call to tell you to replace the boots on the spark plugs.You don't bother tosay what year your car is so you could have a set of wires to replace also.

 

Ding-Ding. you are exactly righti figured it out early in the morning before work andit's running normally now. my car is a 2000 with 105k miles on it soit's time for some new wires and boots.
you're good man, thanks!
