Default my eg is running like ****

Hey guys I drove my eg hatch to school today and its running like crap, I degressed the engine bay last night so I think there's moisture somewhere or something I don't wanna start throwing parts at I only have $150 for parts this weekend and I still need a new battery. What could be wrong with it?

Check the distributor cap for moisture.

Its not that uncommon that people think they can spray down their engine bay and not cover anything up and get things wet that shouldnt be.
