I washed my engine bay last week, well today my car decides to run like ****. it sounds like a subaru. sounds like an electric problem, it bogs mostly between 2-3k rpms....

well there is water in ALL my cylinders around my spark plugs. i tried to vacum it out, but nothing.

how can i get this water out? im afraid to take out those spark plugs because i dont want water to get into my combustion chamber.....

not sure what to do

water is visible with a flashlight

 

sometimes the car runs perfect

but then there are the stages when it runs like ****

 

i'v done that too, well almost. i had got the water into the distributor and around the plug. i did my best to dry it out in both areas. but i let it sitfor a couple days for about then let it idle for about a half hour. and now im fine.

 

 

Get shop rags and a screwdriver and push the rag down in there. Also if you have a air compresser you can blow it out.

 

I did the same thing and the same thing happened. Whata ya know. I took a chop stick and taped Q tips to the end and did that until they were all dry. I quess it depends on how much water is in there though.

 

first, remove the sparkplugs, crank the engine over, allowing the water to shoot out the plug holes. if problem persists, check ur plug wire boots for any water trapped inside. next, remove your distributor cap and allow it to dry or wipe it dry. these will/should fix your problem.

or if you dont want to crank your engine, get a straw and suck the water out with your mouth

 

Best ideas here are the ones without removing the spark plugs... but to add a great step to get the tiny rest out is to spray starting fluid into the tubes to evap the rest of the dampness out. it mixes with the remaining water and evaps it really quick.

 

compressed air is the best way but wear safty glasses and watch your eyes.

 

blow it out with compressed air.
