wolves starlet

Next time get the rags and engine degreaser/cleaner out and use a bit of elbow grease! If it's the dizzy side of things it's not too bad to sort out,piston trouble is expensive!

thanks for your advice chap. lets hope its all ok. deffinately wont get the engine steam cleaned again

as long as it was running on 4 cylinders you'll be fine have you got anywhere you could store it with heaters or somewhere warm n dry n try again tomorrow?

well its now in my mechanics place. cylinders seemed to be fine not any funny noises coming from the engine. seems to tick over now but seems like theres no petrol going into the engine so it cuts off

checked the dizzy side of things? leads and the dizzy its self?

water in the intake would cause a hydro lock........ in 9/10 cases end of a piston!

il find a god link about hydrolocks now

cheers chap please dont tell me this is an expensive job. ive only just got the car thanks stu

Good chance theres water in your plugs! possibly some got into air intake too which isn't good!! Did they cover all electrics and air filter?

I've'e checed all plugs etc. they are all dry. they covered those up. i bet they got a load in the air intake. does this look really bad or may it just dry up

hi i took my starlet for an engine clean but when it was finished the car started playing up. for starters the engine would go no further than 2 thousend revs. after a short while the car would not start at all. it seems to tick over then cut itself out. can anyone point me in the right direction of where water may have got in or what components it may have damaged thanks
