Default Engine Cleaning ?

Hey guys i went ahead and rinsed off my engine last night and may have gotten a sensor wet! i took the car out this morning and noticed it was reall jerkey (pulsating) at idle and sometimes in motion but as i drove longer it would come and go!

Do u think i just got a sensor wet and it just needs to dry out or is there a more serious issue at hand???????

All input would be helpfull, thanks

and if you ever choose to do this again, you MUST leave it running when you spray it...

Most likely it wont just dry itself out. And you'll need to get in there as P.Junk suggested.
you may want to just change your spark plugs while your at it.
In fact if it were me i would also go ahead and install new V.C. gaskets since you're already in there.
