Default check engine code 43. bad fuel system

I washed my car tonight and and i had just put on a air filter my cold air intake. i drove out fine and everything ran good for a little bit and my car deffinatly wasn't smokeing and the after letting it idle for 5 min. i drove off from a stop and my car just boggs out so i was thinking i might have sucked in some water. still no smoke. now my car doens't go past 4000 rpm's and it takes forever to even get to that. i changed my oil and cleaned everything i could. did i maybe bend a valve or something. anybody know whats up? gimme some ideas.

Disconnect the forward most fuse in the under-hood fuse box for a minute then try it, your ecu might be in limp mode.

actaully it might be the fuel pump. i got a check engine light today and the code read that i have a malfunctioning fuel system. code 43. so maybe its nothing to do with sucking in water from the post before. so it runs like shit, ideles rough and i have bad gas milage. any more ideas

so if its code 43, its deff. your fuel. sooo...check all of your fuel stuff. injectors,regulator,pump,fuel lines...etc.

Also...do you smell any fuel?
