Problem after a engine wash on my 1990 v8 Please HELP
Hi, I just washed my engine on a 1990 v8 and now i have big problems running that car.
the transmision goes in fail mode and sometimes if i stop the engine it won't start again, unless i disconect the battery and live it for half hour.
it didn't have any problems before washing that stupid engine.
Please HELP!!!

hmmm. i washed my engine and it ran bad because the distributor was wet. then it was fine after 20 minutes when it dried. yours could be a bad connection induced by the high pressure of the water spray or my better guess is an electrical short.

Re: TPS sensor plug is probably wet. Remove, dry, and reinstall
Agreed, check your TPS
