Hello Lex lovers

me to lift the hood, I lifted,he found out that they cleaned my engine with a power sprayer now it
has been running erratic since, pretty hard starting , my ? is what possible could that
be? check engine light stays on.

I had the same thing happen after my engine was pressure washed (90 LS). I finally found that one of my spark plug holes was full of water. I blew some compressed air in there and it took care of the problem. I guess the ECU knows when a cylinder is misfiring?

well gang,
the lexus fixed itself, check engine light went off never came back on, I guess the power wash
cleared itself up, well no trip to the dealer, all in all very satisfied with the new fender.

I'm too nervous and scared to pay $$$ for a pressure wash degreasing, so i just lightly hose off my engine bay myself during every other car wash, before the gunk gets caked on. at least i can chop my own head off when i do something stupid, i figure.
