nope i didnt use a pressure washer, just a regular garden hose. 03GT green, wat do u mean. Take it to autozone and theyll run a diagnostic on it?
They take a hand held tunner like what you got with SCT, Diablo..... Etc Etc..... Its a little palm pilot looking device and it will display the codes and diagnostics your computer is putting out.... If your car is sick and knows it.... It will come up as a code and he can see it on the handheld tunner.
why not just go into diagnostic mod before starting the car?

Same exact thing happened to me a while ago. Some water got under a coil pack and screwed everything up. I didn't have a tuner at the time and didn't think to take it somewhere. I just changed the plugs and that took care of it.

pressure washing the compartment will not do anything, just dont soak electical stuff - it shouldnt hurt it unless you knocked something loose

Because it's worthless, STDBill. It's not worth a damn.

lmao

yea, that doesn't display the codes that you really need. most likely you got water down the plug wells, so i suggest you pull the COP/plug wire and dry them out before they start getting all rusted and ****
