went drivin. drove id say about 100miles. got home. a friend was waitin for me to change his belts on his car. i did that.
poped my hood. noticed it was dirty as hell. so i washed out my bay.
got done. let it sit for a bit.( ive washed it many times b4 this).
so to start it. it starts but it sounded really weird. the exhaush sounded like a helicopter. rev it to about 3k rpm. the it revs down n dies......
so im like ok. let me try again. go to start it. same thing.
i wait about 2hrs. go to start it. it starts. so i go to drive it. n i floor it. I GO SLOW AS HELL. like the petal is on the floor, im in first gear n im barly moving. then it dies n wont start.....
im starting to get really tired of this damn car. ive put almost 1k into it tryin to get it to run right. im 17. i got a horrible job. cant afford much.

Before you remove the plugs, make sure there aren't any water down in the tube or you'll get that water into the cylinders.
I would disconnect the battery to reset the ECU first, make sure there's no water left over in anything. Remember that water and electronics don't play well together.
I would think that sitting water would have gone away since you've driven it home already.

Remove the negative battery terminal... and put the key in the ignition and turn it to the on position to drain any excess power... then re connect the battery cable.. and see what happens : )
