I washed my car at the car wash, then I washed the engine with engine/tire cleaner with the engine running, since then my check engine light has been on. Sometimes it blinks fast, goes off and then comes back on steadily. The engine sounds like sputter, misfire, rough sound from the tailpipe. The entire engine seems to be running fine, no shaking or bouncing, just running normal. What is the problem? Thanks for your help.
