I cleaned the engine friday using degreaser & hosepipe, after I was done I took the car out for a quick drive to help dry off the engine, it drove perfect at that point
Then, last night took car out for a drive, started perfect, drove approx 20 miles, parked up for 10 mins, when I started the engine again it started perfect, went to pull away from junction & it started to missfire , felt like it was running on 5 or less? very sluggish & then the engine warning light on the dash started flashing.
I pulled over as soon as poss & turned off the engine, opened the bonnet & kind of fiddled around with HT leads restarted again & all was fine?
Returning home after 10 mins of driving, approached a roundabout & the problem was back
Car was fine before, but cant understand why this is happening? I know the obvious water around the the plugs, but wouldn't that be all the time?
Any help would be appreciated :icon_thumright:
