wires are bad they need to be replaced. and theirs prob. water in the spark plug wells,.


use a shop vac. to suck it out

HAHAHAHAHA. sorry i had to.

NEVER wash under the hood of a 2jz. ever. you probly got water down the spark plug tube. lol so either take it all down and stuck the water out or get it running and try to keep it running and boil off the water lol.

just give it time lol.

its ok. i did it once. and thats all it takes.

I wash the engines of every car I own routinely. There is no reason you can't engine dress a 2JZ.

1) Aluminum foil to cover connectors
2) heavy coat of degreaser
3) brush dirtiest areas
4) careful rinse
5) let dry
6) silicone dressing on rubber bits

DEFINITELY RINSE CAREFULLY next time lol i think we have all done this. and once you vaccum it out though you can use a narrow air hose tip and blow it all out to help. but it should stop

does intake manifold need to be taken off to take out the wires?

boxcarfan

just the first section of it that runs across the engine. its pretty easy. takes me maybe 20 mins with the right tools.
