Hi i just had my car and the engine bay washed but now when you give the car gas it seems like the engine stuggles and more noise comes fro the exhaust.
While driving away from the car wash i tried to go forward and bakc it was fine but when i tried to go faster it would not go it was jumping and going forward slowly

I would pull the air filter out and check for water ingress.

If they have just literally pressure washed all over underneath your bonnet it could be a number of things,I wonder if anything electrical was covered. High pressure water = bad bad bad idea.

Who did you get to clean it? Because if they didn't protect your electrics I'm assuming they had spurred boots and horses. If there is water in your electrics I would leave the car for a long time and prey it dries out. If not I would spend that time waving goodbye to your money.
