I made a thread about my car not running good but I wanted to make another one due to what just happened. Finnaly getting a day off of work I got a chance to look into my car. It woudlnt start up for anything. When it did it sounded like a suby .. I had my car detailed at work and I told them not to spray the valve cover at all! Car started running like **** after that day. it got colder and colder and it didnt start up at all. Wtf. So I started off first by checking the plugs. Right after i pull my coils this is what I see. I shake my head.

Looks alright:


But look at it at a closer view:



All 4 were frozen! So I clean out the ice and pull the plugs and of course they are worthless. I cleaned them out put them back in and of course the car started right up. But still was running like ****. I went to the auto store to pick up some Denso Iridium Power Plugs Two Step Colder IKH24 but they didnt carry them. Since the car was tuned on these I figured i should run these. Ill wait off till the plugs come in and see if it works.

Make sure you dont let idiots wash your engine bay!

 

oh, no sh*t.
literally what I said aloud when I saw those pics.^
hope its an easy fix

Got it all cleaned up and cleaned out the ngk plugs that were in there and started right up after putting them back in. But still was running like **** so I ordered the densos which the car needs. Should fix the problem.

 

This is why I always smh at people spraying down their engine bays. Take an extra 10 minutes and wipe it if need be.

 

They did whip it but my workers didn't no that they had water go down into the plugs. And I didn't notice it right away cause the car started up fine and drove okay until it started to get cold out. But in the future I no not to let them clean the engine bay.

 

glad you got it all worked out

Never heard or seen suck a scenario but I guess there is a 1st time for everything bahahaha. Glad to hear its partially resolved

Wow! I can't believe how much ice is in there lol

 

Nice to hear you found the problem. I bet you can't wait to get those new plugs and hear the car running fine again.
