Well i know this myt sound stupid but here goes, one day i decided to give my engine a clean i sprayed the degreaser, waited couple minutes then rinse of with water. Well i think i sprayed a little to much water because i think i got it into the pod and the bit where the injectors and spark plugs were, through commen sense i guess when i started it up the engine sucked up all the water that was left over in the pod and got right into it. When i started the car you can hear the exhaust giving a choking noise and i can feel the engine shaking on idle and while crusing but when i rip it everthing feels normal but it laggs when i try to put my foot on the gas during gear 3 4 and 5. I took out the rocker cover and used a air compressor to try clen out wateva got in but still have the same problem so what am i to do?

shuld i go mechanincs ?

you should probably start with a dictionary...

..But..

How much water do you think the engine sucked in?

I hope for your sake wasn't much, you could try cleaning the AFM.. if it's covered in water its not going to read very well, Or pull all the coil packs out and leave the car sitting with the bonnet up, to let everything dry out.

if possible, get a compressor with an airgun, or even a can of compressed air and remove the coil pack cover and blow all the water out of there. this is more than likely causing the issues.

also, next time, cover the pod with a plastic bag anytime you are putting water, degreaser or any other liquid around the engine bay.

    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
