'00 TA LS1 not accelerating as it should I first noticed the problem this weekend. The only thing that I had done to the car was wash it inside and out. I used some engine degreaser foam and gave it a quick rinse under the hood.
The car doesn't have the torque that it did before. At first it was a subtle difference - I would be accelerating and the rpm's would randomly drop 1-2k and then pick up again. However, it seems to be getting much worse. On my way to work today, I was in 3rd gear and I had the pedal to the floor. The car was very slowly climbing from 1.5k rpm to 2.5k with very slow acceleration.
There are no lights or codes being displayed that I noticed. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Did you let the engine cool down before washing it? You might have cracked a plug. The ceramic part gets hot as **** and if the water hits it sometimes it can break em
