Engine trouble and have zero ideas about the troubles
Alright so one saturday i got out and wash my car. I wash her a nice and she shiny looks great. So I decide Ill clean the engine bay a little bit so I clean it with a rag and a little degreaser no big deal. Well I see I have some soap on the top left(dont know how i missed it) so I squirt it off. With the hood open but i squirted in the opposite way. So just in case I left in the sun with the hood open to dry. I got to start it and it starts fine but it wouldnt rev to more that 6 rpms and had a bad case of the shakes. So I just decided to leave it in the sun for a few more hours. I started it up later and it did the same so i pulled it around to the front of my house to let it idle. It idled fine but still wouldnt rev at all. Then i took it around the block and it had a hard time and i got back and it was smoking. Since it was christmas it sat till today. I got in it started it and reved it and she did pretty good it red lined fine. So i drove it in to school and it drove decent I could tell it still wasnt going great but ran pretty good. Then about 5 hours later after the game i get in and it revs crappy again. So I think well Ill have to limp her home. So i get on the road. At first it runs not good but got me to speed. Then it wouldnt even pull the car so i down shifted and it still couldnt pull the car with petal to the floor. I went all the way to first just to get to a good place to pull over. When i pulled over I turned the car off and it was smoking again. I didnt try to work on it then since it was already really late and i was tired. I have no clue whats wrong and if you need more info I can get it for you.

sounds about the same problem as I'm having... When your accelerating, does she start to shake real bad, but sometimes you can redline it with no problems? Mine also starts shaking real bad sometimes while cruising..

S4 or S5?
Are you getting a check engine light?
We need some more clues..
When I clean the engine, I blow off the water with a gas leaf blower or air hose.
Then I mist it with silicone portectant.
Then blow it off again to chase the silicone oil in to whever any water is still hiding.
