What could be wrong with my car? Rough idle, misfires and hesitation?

I have a 2000 ford taurus 24v 6.0L DOHC and it is running very rough. It all started when I washed and cleaned the engine bay with degreaser to try and find a leak, found the leak and fixed it but now it runs like crap. I replaced all the spark plugs all ready and unhooked all the wire connections I could find and dried them out, I also checked the engine oil for water and it was clean with no water, my car does not have a distributor so it can't be that. It has been over two weeks since my car was washed and it should be very dry by now, but it is still running rough. What could I have messed up, what sensors or other can cause the engine to run this way? Thanks!
