wow....an engine subject that I have experience with.....lol I've washed my engine a couple of times, having the same experiences that all of you are talking about. Hesitation, stalling, no backfiring, but I'm happy for that :-) After this happened a couple of times, I was afraid that I was going to hurt the car if I kept doing it. This wasn't an option for me tho b/c of all the tireshine (silicone) that I was putting on the engine to make it look shiny and new for the car shows. After talking with a friend of mine, he said what I was doing wrong was turning the car off to wash the engine. Now, I leave the engine on (using hot water to wash the engine...never use cold water to wash a hot engine) when washing and have had no troubles since. All I do is leave the engine running at normal idle when I wash with high pressure. Nothing fancy about my methods. Take this advise for what it's worth, but it works for me :-) ST3 http://www.geocities.com/ST3_200/ST3.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Non-performance related topics? http://www.egroups.com/group/NissanHotBodies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe, put "unsubscribe" (by itself) in the subject and send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the form at <http://www.sentra.net/sml/>.
