<![CDATA[Lexus Engine + Hose Water = Bad Misfire...]]>Readers Digest: Didn't realize that the lexus' engine wasn't supposed to be rinsed with water when I cleaned it and now I have a bad misfire. I've taken the top end of the engine apart (minus pulling the plugs) and dried/cleaned everything off and it's still misfiring. I'm going to go pull it apart again and check the plugs but other than that does anyone have any idea what else I could have fried that would cause this??

Is this intake manifold you're talking about one that includes/goes with one of those snail type contraptions?

Yes, your car would be much happier with one of those snail thingies also.

Toyota sure screwed up on that engine design I think...that's way too much "work" just to change plugs!

Plus they looked kinda dirty so I figured some maintenance would be good for it!

It took my Supra a trip to DL and back to basically start running perfect after drying out overnight lol. I didn't remove the valve cover/Intake manifold, but made a vacuum attachment to grab most of the water out of it lol. If you haven't found out yet, there is a huge valley there for water to sit, especially in the plug holes. If it runs enough the water should evaporate, otherwise leave it taken apart overnight and it should be a bit better in the morning lol. Good times huh?
