  2. Missing and Vibration after Wash, Rain or Heavy Fog

    This sounds to me like water is entering the distribution cap, spark cables, or it could be just entering in a connector of a MAF sensor.

    My advise would be:

    - Thoroughly inspect every connector you see in the engine bay. If the connector has exposed or loose wires, look no further.

    - Get the workshop to inspect / replace spark plug cables. 

    Every older car is sensitive to water. I have the same thing with my 99 Pajero who doesnt like water in the engine bay. Why people would even wash the engine bay is a mystery to me. Take a synthetic cloth with some soft detergent and clean the engine components but powerwashing the engine bay is NEVER a good idea.

     

    My Mistake I agree I just saw some green mold growing on A/C tube and thought of doing this stupidity.

  3. Missing and Vibration after Wash, Rain or Heavy Fog

    Dear Carnity,

    I have a Ford Expedition 2006 it is a smooth ride and one of the most awesome thing I have driven. 

    For Past 2 years it has been lovely drive still is until one day i decided  it needs a Full wash.

    That where things went wrong.

    I took all necessary precaution before the wash as per owners manual.

    1. removed battery cables

    2. covered all parts as explained in the manual.

    3, Told the person in Grand Service station not use much water in the Engine Bay all this happened in September 2019

    After the service the car started missing for some time than was okay. 

    Next Morning was Horrible Missing and Vibration but as the car warmed up all was normal for 3 days I had this problem then all was well. During the Rainy reason I was doing water splashing with kids fun in rain sort of thing it happened again then all was clam, now during the Fog this problem keeps coming up. Even after normal service (without washing Engine Bay) this problem keep happening.

    Once the car is warmed up its normal again. (NO Check Engine comes on) but it stalls and starts missing.

    I dont understand why. Please advice

    Legend Says " Fuel Cars are harm full for environment because the carbon emission, Oil burning so on"

    What about Electric Cars Mining of Lithium

    1.Child labor for Mining

    2. Land erosion

    3.Burning of Coal to Produce electricity doesn't that cause Carbon problem 

    must be more i cant really think of now. 

    But my question remain how are electric cars better for the Environment?

    I have PS4 and I think its best choice.

    Now spending time Playing with Kids and yes can find Games easily New and used.

    @Rahimdad made me nostalgic with some older models. Started with Atari Games, Old Nintendo, Sega Drive then PS series.

    Old Favs always Street fighter, Tekken, Ninja , now Call of Duty, Last of Us and many other.

    I do suggest to buy PS4 or wait a little PS5 is on the way.

    I’ve heard that alcohol kills the corona virus so I’ve decided to make an experiment and consume as much as possible tonight for the benefit of all humanity and share the results with carnity. It will either go spectacularly right or spectacularly wrong. Will update with results. 

    I don't know if Bee Hive Brandy can Kill corona or Not but Yes it Killed every FLU virus I had and yes I feel Much Better and Back to Work fresh as ever.

    I’m on an anime adventure at the minute. They released all the studio ghibli movies a couple of weeks ago so that’s been keeping me occupied. I really wish they would put bobs burgers on. Been getting really into it but it’s a pain in the ass trying to watch streams when the network throttles the connection half way through. 

    Me and My Eldest Son Watching The Anime too. Younger ones Getting on Our Nerves
