Please the Gurus in the house i need your candid advice. I sent my car to a car-wash two days ago for engine wash, since then the car has been jerking and not 'firing nor picking' well. The car was not having the problem before the wash. However someone told me that some water may have found its way into the engine but i would want the gurus here to confirm or tell me what to do. Thank you!

Well the person was right.
You need to check which of the plugs is wet and thus not firing and replace that plug and in all likely-hood be good to go.
Next time though make sure they cover all electrical(alternator,plugs), air( intake) openings well before washing. And do go for steam wash instead !

Thanks a lot! I quite appreciate.

So how did you now rectified the fault. I am having the exact issue now. I took the car for an engine wash earlier this morning and on my way back the car was jerking and eventually went off. I have since been trying to kick it noe but not responding. I called the mechanic, he said I should just leave it with bonnet opened so as to allow the engine to dry very well. My fear now is, I hope it's not a serious issue. It's an old model Toyota Corolla liftback with engine 4A FE. I have since opened the bonnet for almost an hour now.

Hope you were able to solve it? Next time I'll recommend you use an Engine Cleaner or tell the car wash personnel to use it on your Engine.
It's very safe and doesn't affect any part of the Engine. Check this video to see how it's done
