Hi guys
yesterday I did an oil change (which went smoothly) and afterwards I noticed the engine was a little dusty so I gave it a squirt with the hose.
today when I started it up, she was idling rough at low revs (making a put put put sound) and was sluggish when taking off. I assumed that water has gotten in somewhere it shouldn't and took it for a 10km drive and she is sounding better but when cruising at 100km she felt ever so slightly surge'y so i am hoping that normal driving will dry out what is plaguing her at the mo'
it also seems like she is idling at a lower RPM than usual (about 100-200 rpm)
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of what to check or look at to see if I can diagnose exactly what is wrong with her.
Thanks in advance.
Running like crap

Funny, I had exactly the same problem pop up over Christmas, one day ran fine, next day 2-3 cylinders and backfiring. I hadn't washed it though. It turned out to be failed plugs, which was a relief, because I was suspecting a coil pack.
I've never known plugs to fail overnight like that though.
