Rough Idle, Dieing out after washing car...

The deal is that evertime i am done washing my car and try to start it, the car idles rough and then dies out, i have to hold my foot onto the gas for a few moments until it is up to temperture.... has any one experince this after they washed there TURBOII..

I still have the hood scoop and i do sometimes get water thru it when i am rinsing. could this cuase any problems to the engine... it runs fine after its up to temperture.

LOL, avoid spraying water into your intake. I generally take a grocery bag and wrap it around my cone filter everytime I wash the car and I never have a problem.
