HELP i think i ruined my engine!!!!

Post by kastrix »

I was washing my car today and thought i might as well wash the engine bay as well. I sprayed it off for a good 3-5 mins. After i was done i went to turn on my car and the car started sputtering really bad on accel. I thought it felt like a bad plug, so i pulled the wire out of all of them to my horror i found they were full of water.

What did i do to my precious car? PLEASE HELP!!!

She will turn on when you want her to and she will always give you the ride of your life.

Blow out the spark plug shafts with compressed air.
Problem solved.
