i filled up my washer reservoir tonight when i got off work, then when i was leaving i hit the sprayer so it would wash some **** off my windshield then about 5 seconds later it lost all power and was stuttering really bad and the car was shaking violently when stopped, so I pulled over and popped the hood and there was washer fluid everywhere because one of the hoses broke.

I let it idle for probably 20 minutes hoping whatever it was that got wet would dry out, but the only thing i could see that got wet was the top of the injectors I got those dried out as good as i could when it was pitch black outside and 22 degrees.

Should I just take the connectors off the injectors in the morning and leave it sitting for a while and hope that it dries out good enough?, or is there a possibility that I shorted an injector and need to replace it, and is there anyway to test an injector?.



Thanks

 

I would be wondering whether your Civic's alternator got soaked and so this was the cause of the problem. Hopefully the alternator dried out.

 

Check your plugs as well if water gets in the plugs it will make them miss

 

More specifically the spark plug wires. Plugs cant really get wet cause the plug wires go over top and seal them.
