Gday all,
Yesterday I cleaned my car at a proper car wash and decided to clean the engine with the degrease and high pressure hose. I drove it back home and it was fine but about an hour later, after about 20mins of driving when I pulled up to some lights it felt as if I was about to stall.
Problems are;
- lost low end torque
- when in gear at idel fluctuates from about 600rpms to 900rpms
- car is shaky until basically you gain speed/change into 2nd
- Basically at a stop sign it feels like your sitting in a large old V8.
- Feels as if the car is running lean
I was thinking I have got water into the spark plugs? But as it feels like the car is running lean it makes me think water has seeped into the air/fuel meter, although I find that harder to beleive.
I spoke to a mechanic and he said 9/10 it needs to dry. Can anyone else offer assistance.
Cheers,
Jago
