I have a 2000 ford taurus with 190,000 miles on it. I was trying to pin point a leak I had so I degreesed my entire engine bay and everything and washed it. It ran really rough and had no acceleration. I then decided to let it dry for a few days. Still it will not go, when i drive it it only goes like 10-15 mph it almost went backwards on a hill and it didn't even rev the engine when doing so. I was told it may be a bad catalyitc converter but they said that would only really effect the high speeds in the car, I was also told it may be spark plugs but with it this bad all of the plugs would have to be blown and with that the car shouldn't even start. Please help I need my car to run because I move in a week. It had none of these problems before I washed it, just a leak by the engine oil pan.
