My car got Heekups...
whats up cl. Today when i got out of work i jump in my car, everything was normal until i noticed a little "heekups" on low idle. So i popped the hood and nothing was out of place. No check engine light has come up yet thanks god... Yesterday i took the air intake hose of to clean a little spill of oil i had from a bad pcv valve. Can it be water that got into the coils when i rinse the engine off?

Yea spray some degreaser by the valve cover and i had to rinse it out but i didnt throw a lot of water... I just turned on the car for a couple of mins and its not doing it anymore i hope it doesnt come back..
you can spray simple green on it and itll work wonders.
what ive did in the past is spray it and just make sure you cover your alternator, distributor, etc.

this is another one of those things people either do or dont believe.
i personally do it all the time BUT i dont do it unless i haven't driven the car in at least 4-5 hours. if the motor is cool, its fine...some degreaser,some water and (knock on wood) never had a issue

I do it quite often also. The one problem i had once was it had cheap Autozone wires on it and water would make the plug wires short. I put on OEM, and haven't had a problem since.
