R32 Gtst Missfire / Running Rough

[1990R32]

hey all,

Just a quick one, not sure if I'm in the right area here.

Basically i had my R32 washed and they washed the engine bay. now its running rough and missing under hard load and surging when coming on boost in 3rd.

I got home and checked the ECU codes and got code 55. so i disconnected the battery and waited a few min and re connected and all was good until i gave it a hit and it started missing at 4000 rpm then running rough and missing all the time under boost or any real driving load.

At the moment all I've done is check the injectors too see if water got into the plugs, checked fuse box, pod, afm, for water. I've also noticed that it does come and go with the missing and running rough as sometime i can drive normal for a few seconds and it plays up again.so basically I have just left it with the battery disconnected for now but is there anything else i could check?

Cheers

George

My money is on water got under the coil valley cover......

Remove coils, dry them, the whole valley, then put a smear of dielectric grease on the coil pack ends before fitting them back in to reduce any arcing from the rubber boots.

Do as per above

Also dry the Pod,

Remove and clean the AFM with electrical contact cleaner and let it dry

Check the coil pack loom for disintegration allowing water to get into the wires

Oh and in future make sure all those areas are covered over when cleaning in the engine bay
