Default caught on fire!!

Hey I posted before about spraying my motor and it wouldnt start. Well the distributor got wet and I wiped it and it started and ran fine but somthing was clogged in my cat. I heard it and then it started smoking real bad and a mouse nest caught on fire in my exhaust and I sprayed it down allitle and started the car back up and a huge wodd of black nest shot out my exhaust lol. So it funs fine now.

Thanks for the help before

haha well I bought it a few months back for 300 bucks and found it sitting in the back of a construction site, brought it home but it wasnt running and got it running and havent started it in a week or so. So maybe it was from a while back but what ever it was its gone now lol.

Damned mice. Make sure they didn't eat any wires or anything, that'll cause a horrible headache in the future (and possibly worse fires). Once I hadn't driven my Mustang for two weeks, when I started it there was gurgly noise underneath and water shot out the tailpipes. Idk how water got in there as it was facing uphill, but it did rain pretty hard one day while it was parked. Then it puffed steam from the tailpipes for several minutes.

Dude that is hilarious. Of course if it had caused you any damage I wouldn't have said that [8D]
