Default HeLP !!!! motor wash

I decided to wash my motor today. I so regret it. I have a stock air box, no cone or nothing. So I'm at the car wash........I spray the the motor etc. I go to start it up, and she starts up fine. I let it sit for a while warm up and let the vapors explore the air. I then proceed to leave the car wash and I go to hit the gas pedal, hard and the car stalls. She starts right up and idles funny, as if its missfiring. I drove it home about 1/2 a mile made it home. Then drove for another 1 mile. What are my chances of it being hydrolocked. I'm assuming i wet the dizzy. Need some further opinions, Thanks guys.

dosent seem like you hydro locked it. chances are that you got water in some of teh electrical connections. chances are it will work fine when dried off.

was teh engine hot when you sprayed it down?

might also look between the spark plugs and the rubber gromet thing (spark plug wires) on top. I have had water there after washing the engine bay.


EDIT: nevermind, didnt see it had been solved
