i had something like that in my old car.

Somehow water had gotten in the bits where the spark plugs go.

We used a high pressure air hose thingy to get it all out and off she went again.

hi,

my girlfriend thought it might be a good idea to hose down her engine

now when she starts it, it the engine shakes as if its miss firing

how do i fix this?.

she has an R33 skyline the same as mine.

take your coils out and use high pressure air to blow the water out of the spark plug hole, if you dont have a compressor then just use some kind of thin fabric to soak up all of the water around it. put it all back together after making sure your coils are dry too, then should run fine after that.

Chicks and maintenance on a vehicle makes me laugh. Reminds me of a mates girlfriend who cleaned his motorbike and put tyre shine on the wheels, not just the sides but the whole tyre. First corner he came to he washed out sideways. She will never live that down.

u could not believe how much trouble me and a mate had with our r33 after high pressuring the engine bay, his alarm went off and my wipers got possed by the devil.

keep goign off by it self. just let the egine dry. start it or a air gun and blow it out good.

leave it to dry...should do the trick after over night.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
