bhg?

[TooGoode]

i washed my car a week ago, and of course, lawn mower, running on only a few cylinders beacuse of the wash.....drove it around a while, and went back to normal...had all my power...i went to start it again, and it ran like crap again, checked my plugs, and yup, had water in #3 valley....is this a symptom of a bhg? thanks,

Nope. You just got water in the valley. You do need to soak it all up, though. Dry everything out and you should be fine.

P.S. I did this and ended up killing my cat. converter. It's hollow now =D

Yeah having liquid in the spark plug holes will definitely make your car run shitty. Ask me how I know
just get a shop vac and vacuum it out of there and you'll be fine!

 

[TooGoode]

i already did....and the car ran great....well i let it run and evaporate the water....no shop vac....it ran GREAT! then, a couple days later..went to fire it up...runs like shit....i drove it around a little earlier to warm the motor up to evaporate the water....just went out again to start it, and wouldnt even start! had to crank a little while....wtf is going on? is there anyway i have a bhg?

 

[TooGoode]

anyone have any ideas?

Did you have water or coolant in the galley?

Not sure a bhg could cause plain old water to pool in the galley. Do you have a milkshake for oil or oily film/residue in the radiator cap? THOSE are bhg symptoms, to my knowledge.

I pulled my plugs and it dumped oil in the cylinders causing it to run like shit until 30 mins of highway driving to burn it off. How long have you run it?

 

[TooGoode]

how can i tell if its water or collant? where else could the water be coming from?

 

[starscream5000]

water is clear, coolant is green/red/yellow/brown.

 

[TooGoode]

if its water, then where could it be coming from.....like i said, i washed the motor, drove for a while, and got all my power back...so i think all the water was gone...then it came back...how?

There is a coollant hose that runs above your valve covers, check and make sure its not leaking.

 

[TooGoode]

where is the collant hose located exactly? any pictures available? thanks alot guys..

Its one of the bigger black hoses that heads toward the Y pipe. You can squeeze it, but you should be able to tell which one it is. I'll try and find a picture.

 

[TooGoode]

is it conected to the y pipe? or just near it?

 

[SupraMario]

it connects to the top end of the Y pipe. Its one of the bigger hoses, you will see a bunch of vaccum hoses, and then one hose thats like 1/2 dia. check that hose, its a coolant one.

srry for late reply.

 

[TooGoode]

can you point it out in this picture please?

 

[TooGoode]

would it be better to just take the intake off and clean the hell out of it?
