I had a bad valve cover gasket that leaked oil all over the place in the engine bay and it was smoking bad. I changed that a while ago an on my off day this week I went to the car wash and degreased everthing. I didn't get the alternator wet which was good and I left the car running. But now it seems to run a little rougher than before. Did I just ruin my car? It never died on my while I was doing that or driving home. When I got home, the car seemed to shake really bad when I was sitting still. I revved the crap outta the engine and it seemed to go away.
I'm not sure if it's just my imagination or if it idles a little rougher than before. If the car never died, and still starts up on me, what could I have done to mess it up?
