I decided to wash my engine today.
After reading the forums out here that say to be careful around the top of the engine where the spark plug wires are.
I sprayed degreaser on the engine, the rinsed it of, but I was not careful like I should have been. I also got my spongy air filter pretty wet. I then started it and drove it around the block to put it back in the garage. The whole time I had it running, it was sputtering, and would not rev very high. I kept forcing it to rev by holding the pedal down until it finllay made it to high rpms. I got it to the garage, and it kept dying on me when trying to go up the driveway. There was also a decent amount of smoke pouriung from out of the right rear wheel well. A few minutes after that, I tried to start it, but it would not start. It turns over, and every once in a while kinda put out a small backfire. I then pulled the plug wires off and sure enough, there was water sitting in there almost to the top of the plugs. My shop vac fit down in there, so I was able to get all of the water out. I also pulled my cold air tube off and installed a dry filter onto the MAF, but it still will not start.
I am going to let it sit overnight, then try starting it again tomorrow.
Any ideas?
