Default Engine Help!!! White Smoke...low idle..Black smoke

I just got done washing my car, went to pull it back into the garage...car kept dying on me. I plugged my tuner in...no DTC's whatsoever. I try driving down the street...it dies when I come to an idle. I get home, pull it into the garage again, I can get it to stay on, but the RPM's are at 500, when usually around 900. I let it run, and it goes from white smoke to black out the exhaust.

Help me!

Any ideas?

Thanks.

it's very simple to clean too. just twist off the OS, then clean out the inside of it with a rag, it probably has black grime in it. you want the color inside the OS to be golden.
