Ive just cleaned my engine bay using autoglym engine and machine cleaner i sprayed it on then hosed it of whilst the engine was running, after id finished i took it for a spin and it started to misfire and idle bad (600rpm), i believe ive got a bit of water in the spark plugs etc.....whats the best way of sorting it...cheers, by the way i left it running for about 10 mins to get some heat going so im hoping the water might evaporate with the heat?

 

You soaked the electrics didn't you?

Did you keep the engine running while you SPRINKLED water over it to rinse off the cleaner?

 

take the dizzy cap off,bet its damp in there

 

yes mate the engine was running when i hosed it of, it only started idling funny 5 mins after taking it for a drive

 

You don't want to go taking spark plugs out if you think that is where the water is sitting, because water doesn't compress. You are just going to have to find out where it is and mop it up.

Look around the metering unit area too, take the cone off if you have one and check the flap.

 

dry the dizz cap and all conecters

 

left car overnight and it was fine in the morning running weet as a nut
