Default Rough idle, bogs on acceleration

So my civic (motor:d16y7) has been running fine all week since i took it out of storage and put it back on the road. I just cleaned the engine today at the car wash with the pressure washer/engine cleaner, and about half way home, going around a corner, the engine starts to bog. I hit the gas and it runs super rough, and then as it speeds up it runs much smoother. I tried adjusting the timing a bit to see if that helped, and retarding it definitely made it worse. I limped the 2 km home and it would run fine only when I lightly pressed the accelerator at high (3.5-4.5k rpm). As soon as i gave it anything it would lose power and run like crap. Did I get the distributor wet when I washed it? Does anyone have any ideas what's happening
