Norbi Posted April 7, 2006 Hello! Problems again... I washed my Tico's engine with water, later i started the engine, everything was ok. Some kilometers later the engine became weak.The work of the engine not smooth. I think water get into the ignition system. I reolaced the distributor cap,distributor rotor ,cables ,sparks. I don't want to replace all the elements of ignition system. Could anyone help me, what could be the reason? Expensive parts of ignition system are: -ignition coil (not replaced) -picup coil (not replaced) -ignitor (not replaced, the most expensive part) I would like to know if somebody had the same failure and it's solution. Thank you! Share this post Link to post
NFS Posted April 7, 2006 Well, with a little luck, you can have your engine back if you leave your car in the sun for a couple of hours. And don't wash your engine again! What's the reason? Mine has three years... and was never washed! And is looking ok! And running wild... ) Share this post Link to post
Senna Posted April 7, 2006 Leave your car in direct sunlight to the engine compartment, with the distributor cap opened, so the vapours can leave the distributor. Share this post Link to post
