Default Help!, 93 civic dx seriously misfiring

ok, i took my car to a self car wash thing today to clean the motor, i sprayed a bunch of engine degreaser all over the engine bay. as soon as i left it started acting funny, it was bogging down and whatnot and seemed to want to stall out. It seems to run first gear fine then its like boggy and sometimes a loud *** pop.. what should i do ?????????? i searched but i didnt see anything that had to do with engine degreaser stuff.
