Whats wrong?
Ever since I washed out my engine bay, my car has been acting up. When I start it up sometimes it doesn't bite. The service engine soon light comes on. When it does start up it idles at damn near 1,500rpm then slowly goes back to 700rpm. Iam thinking it's something with the fuel?
any help would be great, thanks...

You got water into something most likley the dristrubitor. Pull the cap and rotor and make sure its dry and clean. If it has some corrison then replace. Also make sure the wores are good. Might have one breaking down and water got into it.

check the intake for a vaccum hose. if the idel is going up and down thats you best bet. could be ignition componets wet but if that were the case it pbobly would not start at all and if it did would stall right out.
