So the other dday i was doing some cleaning under my hood. I tinfoiled off all the important electrical areas and lightly sprayed everything with cleaner + hose, and scrubbed everything off. Drying it ect. Drove it for about 100 km and everything was ok. The next day i started it up and it wasnt running very well. I got onto the freeway and the power just wasnt there, and after flooring it a few time it backfired. I pulled to a rest area, and plugged my spark plug plugs in again (cause i pulled them out to clean em) and evetryhing was back to normal. Now, 2 days later, i start the car up again and theres some new problems. First it took a few revs to start engine engine. about 3x more than usual. Then when it started it was running rough. After that it as soon as i passed 1/4 throttle there just wouldnt be any power, no matter what gear i was in, and i would hear a fairly loud chirping sound ? .. any ideas ?

Edit. The chirping is caused because the exhaust is coming out in bursts.. and i havea smalll hole in my pipes. Argh. Still a major issue though.
