    little problem

    cleaned my engine today and now i seem to be idling a lil rough. when i first started it up and the car got warm, it started smoking a little. i figured that was from water may have gotten on the headers. any suggestions?

    Sounds like coils/plug wires got wet. Did you pressure wash? Should clear up after everything dries out.

    More then likely wet coils. Just remember to do this with the engine cool and to try and keep the coils/wires as dry as you can. Once it drys it should be fine. If it isn't, report back in and someone can help you out.
