I washed the motor and now it's sputtering only when I'm on the gas.

Every time i wash under the hood, when I'm done i disconnect everything electrical and disconnect the battery and spray clean all electrical connections with electrical parts cleaner. Water will make them corrode causing shorts and not allow proper connections.
