Why does my supra suddenly sound like a scooby

[Guest Gcampbell0612]

Help, well here goes ,ill try to explain my problem,my supra na 1995,was running perfect the other day then i washed the car and quickly over the engine bay,when i went to start the car around 3 hours later it was running i think on 5 cylinders ,when you push the throttle down there was lack of power and still the scooby noise,i let the car sit a couple days and still the same but not as worse if you put the throttle down to say a quarter the way down when on the move it seems to run on five cylinders until the throttle catches up then its fine but also a smell of fuel in the car until you push the throttle down again,when idiling it sounds like its running on five cylinders,have i got water in somwhere i shouldnt or have i a sticky injector,hope this makes sense to someone thanks

N/A's are notorious for this problem. I had it with my old car, it would seem that you have got a bit of wet water down on your spark plugs.

 

Try to get in there and mop it up, then take the plugs out one by one and give em a clean up/dry off. Good luck, the spark plugs are a PITA to get to on a N/A

hahahaha, this is one of those threads where I sit and chuckle.... not because of the newbie mistake but because I've done it twice

 

Airline is the easiest way to get the water out

[Blackie]

but because I've done it twice

 

 

Twice?? Ive done it once but managed to fill the plug recesses up so they were like little wells
