Default Uh OH Help!!!

I was cleaning my car today, and I sprayed the engine bay with Simple Green.
I cleaned up everything and then I washed the car.
Well, First mY engine is STOCK.
Nothing modded.
When I drove my car to the Vaccum's. It started stuttering in reverse.
Then I tried to turn it on and it would take longer then usual.
I started driving home and. Everytime I would step on the gas the RPM's would stutter and the car would begin to Idle and then continue revving.
Well now Im at home.
The car Idles bad and turns off when I start it.
I can barely turn it on. What could it be?
Symptoms:

Idle's when Revv'ed.
Steam or smoke coming from the "Intake Manifold" Area.
Its probably steam.
What could it be???
The Car feels like it has a weak Vaccum in the Intake.
Or could it be that Water got into the Intake? Or Worse Cylinders?
HELP!!

pull out all your spark plugs and check to see if there is water inside the holes. If there is blow the water out with an air gun (if you have one) or just wait until the water evaporates.

Thats the only thing I could think of right know Sorry, maybe someone else has some better ideas

I wouldnt think so because the water will prevent the spark plugs from sending spark to the cylinder and some of your cylinders wont be fireing. And I dont think that would be good for your engine. that maybe why your engine is vibrating so badly.

Found the prob
Water in Cylinders.
MY Car was in an Inclining While washing motor.
Im cleaning the Sparkplugs now. I took off the Dist. Cap and Lightly Shaved the Inside just in case. No Water in Cap tho.
Im cleaning out the Sparks atm. And Im going to Blow Dry it.
Sigh*
