Unhappy Vibrating after engine wash

I recently cleaned my engine, and couple of hours after the wash, i tried starting it.
Now the whole car vibrates if i press the accelerator a little bit and it`s reving slowly, and it`s alot of smoke comming out of the exhaust, much more than before.

I am thankfull for all kind`s of help !!

smells like you fired your ignition system. if its reving slow then it most likely your leading ignition, possibly the ignitor or the coil.

You may just have some water under your distributer cap. Take the cap off and look for moisture. Dry it thoroughly and replace.

Yeah, check everything for water. A can of wire dryer might help. Good luck, hopefully no permanent damage was done.
