Today I degreased and washed my engine bay and later on in the afternoon I was at a stop light and starting from first gear it bogged down so bad and was barely sputtering along and then it finally regained power and second did the samething, then in 3rd and 4th gear when mashing the gas pedal all the way to the floor it bogs more. whats going on?

 

Check the spark plug tubes for water.

exactly what happened to me once......i used an air compressor to blow out all the water that got into where the spark plugs are....

 

Also did you cover your dizzy when you washed it? Maybe pop the cap off and make sure its all dry.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. With my 85 CRX everytime I went through this car wash that had the underbody flush after I pulled out it started bogging like crazy sometimes even stalling until it dried off.

 

Yep thats all it was; a little bit of moisture in the spark plug holes and the dizzy a little damp; next time i'll be a bit more careful
thanks
