Well i know this myt sound stupid but here goes, one day i decided to give my engine a clean i sprayed the degreaser, waited couple minutes then rinse of with water. Well i think i sprayed a little to much water because i think i got it into the pod and the bit where the injectors and spark plugs were, through commen sense i guess when i started it up the engine sucked up all the water that was left over in the pod and got right into it. When i started the car you can hear the exhaust giving a choking noise and i can feel the engine shaking on idle and while crusing but when i rip it everthing feels normal but it laggs when i try to put my foot on the gas during gear 3 4 and 5. I took out the rocker cover and used a air compressor to try clen out wateva got in but still have the same problem so what am i to do?

shuld i go mechanincs ?

you should probably start with a dictionary...

..But..

How much water do you think the engine sucked in?

I hope for your sake wasn't much, you could try cleaning the AFM.. if it's covered in water its not going to read very well, Or pull all the coil packs out and leave the car sitting with the bonnet up, to let everything dry out.

if possible, get a compressor with an airgun, or even a can of compressed air and remove the coil pack cover and blow all the water out of there. this is more than likely causing the issues.

also, next time, cover the pod with a plastic bag anytime you are putting water, degreaser or any other liquid around the engine bay.
