Hi all,
Last Thursday while I was washing the outside of the truck I popped the hood and noticed the usual dust and dirt. The vehicle had sat at least an hour before I had hosed the engine off. Let it sit about another hour after words to dry. Started it up, drove it in the garage, next day drove it to the bus stop, no problem. Coming home from the bus stop the cruiser developed a misfire. Hooked up the ODBII tool and it said cyclinder 4 misfire. Pulled the plug (couple droplets of water on the plug wire in the cylinder) and it looked as if it may be cracked, replaced it, started her up again at first it ran good, then mis fire started again, checked ODBII again, this time cyclinder 6 misfire. Pulled that plug and looked as though it was cracked as well, rather then screw around I just replaced all 6 plugs, so far a short trip last night and the morning drive to the bus stop were smooth.
Questions; Has this ever happened to anyone else after washing the motor?
I pray it is not so, but is there a chance that I may have cracked the head?
Thanks,
Yomama
