so i cleaned my engine bay via the sticky on it and i start it and its running rough so i shut it off....what to do now?

00GT5spd · May 24th, 2009, 05:09 PM

i had the same proble a year ago.. if you used water check you COP's ones prob cracked. moisture got in there and now its missing. you have to look very closly

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:13 PM

where would it be cracked just on the outside?

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:16 PM

and why would the water make it crack?

00GT5spd · May 24th, 2009, 05:20 PM

water dident make it crack it just cracked from wear.. mine had a light crack on the top, and one had it down the side. then when water got in them they started to fail witch caused the roughness and boging

mustanginky · May 24th, 2009, 05:22 PM

how did you dry it? just got something electrical most likely a cop wet

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:22 PM

ok so im not seein any cracks i looked close with a flashlight...sounds like its an issue with a coil anyways tho but if i cant see any cracks..then what?

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:24 PM

just dried it with rags...im sure theres still moisture somewhere..im gonna go look for any more wet spots but i guess ill just have to wait a while and see if it changes when everything is completely dry? this is my DD is it o.k. to drive the car like this if i have to?

mustanginky · May 24th, 2009, 05:25 PM

it's possible it filled the bore for the plug up with water. how much water did you use? i never run very much around that stuff just for this reason, set the hose to mist and let it sort of "run" water off while mopping it up with a towel or microfiber.

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:27 PM

yeah i mean i didnt use much water in general and esp. around cops and shit..

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:31 PM

fuk my ass..so is it ok to drive the car like this if i have to?

00GT5spd · May 24th, 2009, 05:36 PM

i did for about 10 miles before i decided i dident wanna risk it.. if ur getting a misfire i wouldent. but like i said i did the same thing u did and that was my problem. make sure there seated right now water on the connector or a crack in the boot that maybe water got into

00GT5spd · May 24th, 2009, 05:40 PM

if none of that works.. go get the cops tested make sure there all fireing.. then again.. if it ran fine before u washed it.. its prob not the plugs

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:40 PM

ok...and i can smell my exhaust more it seems like if that means anything

00GT5spd · May 24th, 2009, 05:42 PM

Misfire. not burning everything so its def a COP or spark plug. if its none of that something could have been shorted out. but i highly doubt that.

00GT5spd · May 24th, 2009, 05:43 PM

make sure u dident pull a wire loose or anything while you were cleaning around that area

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:47 PM

so what do i need to check and see if they are all firing or not?

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:50 PM

called autozone they say they cant check if i have no cel

00GT5spd · May 24th, 2009, 05:52 PM

start it up make sure its still running rough.. then pop the hood and one at a time un plug the cop's if it gets worse thats a good one d oit untill u get to one that when u unplug it the idle dosent change and it dosent get worse. then thats ur problem.. but dont stop make sure there all still good.. doing this you MAY.. throw a code. but it dident in mine

bullitt ak · May 24th, 2009, 05:53 PM
