"Don't know if this belongs here but need some help"


I decided to wash my motor today. I so regret it. I have a stock air box, no cone or nothing. So I'm at the car wash........I spray the the motor etc. I go to start it up, and she starts up fine. I let it sit for a while warm up and let the vapors explore the air. I then proceed to leave the car wash and I go to hit the gas pedal, hard and the car stalls. She starts right up and idles funny, as if its missfiring. I drove it home about 1/2 a mile made it home. Then drove for another 1 mile. What are my chances of it being hydrolocked. I'm assuming i wet the dizzy. Need some further opinions, Thanks guys.

 

you got the dizzy/sparkplugs wet

you are just grounding out the spark, as water is a conductor.


If you had compressed air, I would say take off the spark plug wires from the spark plugs and get the water out of the holes.

Then, take off the dizzy cap and dry out the internals.

You did NOT hydrolock your motor unless you decided to shoot water into your stock air tube.

You can also just let your car idle for awhile, though it sputters, it will slowly heat up and cause the water to evaporate.
