Bogging after cleaning engine bay
I have a 97 civic and idk what's going on I cleaned my engine bay with engine degreaser and water, then went out to get food and on the way back home my car started freaking the **** out. It started doing this about 30 minutes after driving. Does anyone possibly know the cause of why my car is doing this?
CEL is just a O2 sensor code

Oh really? And since the CEL was on before you started having issues, how do you know there aren't any new codes? Stick a paperclip in there and find out. It's too easy to whinge about doing it.
Boys and girls, this is why, when your CEL comes on, you ******* fix it.

Doesn't take a lot of common sense to know you should cover the distributor, spark plug wires (distributor end) and alternator with aluminum foil or visqueen before cleaning the engine. Unplug spark plug wires from distributor, remove distributor cap from dizzy and allow all to air dry or fan dry (quicker) or lightly with compressed air.
My dad used to spray WD40 on the wires and top of dizzy on his F-150 but, I am not sure if it gels with rubber wires.
