Default Black magic engine cleaner

I bought some new engine cleaner today. I read the instructions and it said i didn't need to cover anything, so i didn't. After rinsing i went to drive my car to dry it and now it runs like ****. mostly under load, like acceleration and **** but ideling also. Someone please tell me what to do.

well no water could have gotten in the cold air intake i have and the can said it was safe for all parts of the engine, just to limit the amount of rinse water, and i didn't spray much anywhere besides the head and the valve cover.

i went and dried out the dizzy, yes there was water in there. It still runs very odd, like extremely lacking power, when you stomp it down it shakes but not like a wheel shake and engine shake, someone help me. It also sounds like it backfires when it idels.
