Mis-fire C36
I used the engine cleaner CO2 the other day( i hear you already what what on ur engine etc) well it's developed a slight hesitation, mis-fire. It's got better, but when it starts up it's okay. 5 minutes or so later it starts to judder slightly.
Gonna check it all over tomorrow and spray WD40 into all the electrical connectors...any ideas?
I did only use a hose to clean the stuff off and tried not to soak any electrical terminals. Learn my lesson me thinks.
I have since taken the airfilter out, dry as a bone. Spark plugs and coil area is dry.
I ran the engine in my drive for about 10 mins and ran sweet as a nut and reved to about 3k rpm and not stuttering pr hesitation.
Travelling down the motorway this evening fine and as i accelerated i could hear the slight hesitation, whatever it is. The longer it's driven the worse it gets.
Put some fuel injector cleaner in the petrol and felt a slight improvement.
Help please

Could be anything, but most likely electrical. I always keep the engine "half" hot when I clean it like that. I spray the degreaser swift over it all, then I use the high pressure water on a respectful distance without much delay and since the engine is hot enough all the water steams off in a minute.
The whole thing takes just two to three minutes and nothing gets really soaked. Have never had problems with any car I washed like this. Only rule is, not too hot, not too cold....
