Need help quick!!!!

Hey guys so went and did a dumbass thing today. It had just rained and the pavement was slick so my buddy and I decided to go have a little fun sliding around in the parking lot. A little info on the car: It's a '82 Corolla with an '81 engine, 5 speed, with 4 speed gearing in the rear or something like that I forget exactly how the guy explained it. I just bought the car 3 days ago. Oh also I have changed the fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter, and oil, it ran wonderfully until what happened next.

We had some fun revving it pretty hard and such. Then I went and spun out pretty bad and stalled out the engine, afterward it would barley keep running. It smoothed out some eventually and was able to idle fine, but every time it was given gas it died.

The choke valve, or what I think is the choke valve, in the carb seemed to be stuck shut. We taped it open and I was able to drive home like that, although the power seemed weak like it wasn't getting to the rear and it seemed like I had to shift a lot sooner in each gear. Any ideas guys??? I really need some help this car is my only mode of transportation right now, it was really stupid of me to go push this old car so hard like that.

Ok so update on the situation, went out this morning, the car had sat all night without anything done to it. Took the tape off of the choke valve, and started up the car. It started right up and I could give it throttle without it dying. Drove it down the road and it seemed to be running normally. I'll be driving it a good distance today, so I'll update you guys and let you know if the car starts acting up again.

This is really weird how it's running well this morning, could the car just have over heated or fuel gotten in the wrong place?

probably just a little fuel got in the wrong place (flooded) or some water got in the distributor cap/rotor. mine used to have a similar problem in the rain, but a new cap and rotor and spark plugs/wires has made a world of a difference
