Guys i have a 1990 gt 5.0 and the other day i decided to clean the engine up a little just the intake and valve covers so i used some degreaser and a little bit of water to wash away all of the nasty grime. So i then try to start my car back up to put it in the garage and it started first i noticed it cranking real fast like the timing would be off a little also it will jump up to 3k rpm and if i tap the throttle real fast it will come back to normal for a few secs then back to 3k again. Im not sure it was fine before i wash it off im thinking i got water in somthing. Thanks for any help

Yeah just let it dry out real good! Sounds like some water got in somewhere it shouldnt have.

Pull the distributor cap off and check there. I bet you got some water in there.
