Earliar today I put some engine degreaser on my car and then washed it off just as the can instructed...then I was driving down the high way and exited and all of the sudden my check engine light comes on and my car starts to sound really weird...like a blurbling v8 and the throttle becomes jumpy and wont accelerate and seems like it would about to die and then it would get power and so on. If anyone knows what the problem is...please help. Its really freaking me out. Thank you.

 

It sounds like you're running rich. Check to see if your plugs are black.

 

You probably just soaked your dist. or sparkplugs. It just needs to dry out.

 

It keeps getting worse...It is very very jerky in the low rmp's but gets better around 4000. It vibrates like hell at idle too. Is it ok for me to drive home...Im at my girlfriends house about 20 miles away.

 

misfiring. water got into your ignition somewhere homey.

How do I fix it...is it ok to drive on?

 

Pull the sparkplug wires from the sparkplugs, open the hood, let it dry for a couple hours.

 

if you have a cell phone take it with you and if you break down call your g.f. then when you get home do a thorough examination. or hell do one now. got a flashlight?

 

DONT USE ENGINE DEGREESER it will cause a chemical reaction with the rubber in your plug wires and melt them and you will loose spark...........SIMPLE GREEN BAD
That spray foam **** bad DO NOT USE!!!!!!!!!

 

Simple Green is perfectly safe as long as you dont soak your distributor or alternator or anything like that.

 

ive never had any negative experience with either product, except when i got it in my eyeball.
