So i just cleaned under my hood using emay's method of simple green and f21 and it looks great. but here's something i just pieced together...after i got my car painted, my idle sounded airy and weird and i thought i had an exhaust leak, and i misfired going home and had lots of codes, then the next day everythings disappeared, exhaust leak sound gone after 2 days. now i have that EXACT same sound, so i guess i never had a leak! what under my hood that got wet would cause this noise? maybe thats the same reason my car jerks and doesn't move much when i give it throttle? right now when i start in 1st its rough some of the time and when i give it a lot of throttle it tries to move but like jerks and sounds like theres popping going through the exhaust. maybe it's all related lol
Problems after cleaning engine?

Yeah, your problem is for the washing, not for the intake mannifold, i jus say it because have similar simptoms back then....
Do has the another says and change the coils and the spark plug...
Another thing is just wait a couple of days, meanwhile the water evaporate itself, and then try again to run, some times worked when another of my cars was whashed into the engine bay....

+1 Just get 1 coil pack. Just make sure you get an OEM one. Offbrand ones are usually crap.

Yes, i prefereably change everything by myself cause i learn how my stang works... so if you want to do it by yourself, get a nO. 7 milimeters key so you could remove the coil and a regular spark plug whit a long adapter, is pretty easy to change the spark plugs...and in the inter, clean the coils, maybe whit that yor stang is back...

If you havent had a tune up in a while it couldnt hurt to change them all out. Unless you think water got down in another cylinder just change out that 1.

Yeah just get the part from the dealer, install them on your own or have a shop do it. If you take it to the dealer your wallet may be a little lighter. And i also run ngks, tr55.
