Take off the cap and let it dry before driving.

What code is your CEL throwing?

And next time you change the cap, use an OEM cap and rotor and change the o-ring they provide..... just in case the bag leaks

Well anywayz, take of your cap and put a blow dryer on it. It will heat up the water and disspate it faster. It should start and run fine then.
