Help, Car Stuttering for first 2500 RPM!

Hey Guys,

I washed my engine yesterday and now my car is stuttering every time you press the gas until about 2500 rpm and then stutters through out the rest. It almost cut off and then if left alone, does. Any ideas?

BTW it looks like the airflow meter was rewired because it had broke. have any ideas on the connections for that also.

thanks

when he washed the car he got overzealous on the engine and water must of leaked into the jackets for the plug wires
so his plugs were flooded?

I was about to say after reading your post, water in your spark plugs, you gotta be careful washing your engine bay....I usually just use some good cleaner and spray it on and aviod the stuff I dont want to get wet, but if you like the lazy-mans way, go for it...

Well the engine bay is clean nowwwww.

no doubt about it. Malice Saw it and he said very nice. So at least it was worth it sort of. Well on my old 240, i washed it like twice a year, and on the new one it was the first time and this happened, oops.

But iz all good we learn form our mistakes.

But at least I can eat off my engine now
