    morning, had my engine wash and under wash last Saturday and this morning, when i started the car, it run for a couple of minutes (5 minutes), my temp is still low then it started to vibrate and tumirik, so i step on the gas, tirik p dn, nung medyo tumaas na ang temp ko, it went on d na tumirik.

    what could be the problem? sarado kc ang casa today. hope you guys can shed some light.

    thanks.

    Ang kadalasan nagiging problema pag nag pa engine wash ka hindi maiwasan mabasa high tension wire, distributor at iba pang electrical part. Kadalasan pumapalya sasakyan pag nabasa ito dahil tumatalon ang kuryente kagaya sa spark plug cable . Mas maganda kung pa engine wash ka pagkatapos pabiugahan mo ng hangin para matuyo ang makina at electrical parts para hindi pumalya o tumirik . Kaya noong tumaas na temp noong makina hindi na tumirik dahil natuyo na ito.

    Di talaga advisable ang engine wash. If you want to have your engine cleaned, just have it detailed sa mga trusted detailing shops around. In example would be waxdaddy & bigberts.

    The problem is caused by water getting into your car engine's electrical system and causing an electrical ground somewhere.

    Usually the problem is either at the sparkplugs, high tension wires or at the distributor. When the water evaporates, the problem goes away.

    Next time, you can opt for the waterless engine cleaning service offered at SPEEDLAB.
