[V8] Cleaned engine now barely runs...

[Fred]

There is a multi connector on the front of the engine. If memory serves it is the throttle position sensor and/or idle control. Disconnect the plug and dry the water out of it with a paper towel tip. The way that connected is positioned, water will pool in it.  Happens every time I wash my engine :-).
