Detailed Engine = Engine Problem

[darkcrave]

Ran Perfect
I detailed the engine ( degreaser and water )
not it almost feels like a misfire or no boost...

I took out all the spark plugs and coil, cleaned them, tryed to dry all of the sensors that i could, i dont hear a vac leak


Update* drove it home, figured heat may burn the water off. Feels like a boost issue almost... I was getting power then it would stop and surge couldn't get pass 5,000 rpms. Then I would get power then again no power????

Give it a few days. I had the same prob. I let the car idle for like an hour or two. It still ran crappy for a few days, but got better and better. Hopefully its that easy, huh?

You called it, runs great this morning. Thanks

Sounds a lot like the knock sensor. Mine was cracked and every time I washed the engine I would get the same problem. It's shaped like a donut with a bolt through it, under the intake manifold on the driver's side of the block. Even if the sensor looks ok it may be bad, there was an issue with the wire lead breaking too.
