the engine light came on 36 times

 

Not sure if this is it P0136 O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

 

wats that mean

 

Means you got something wet

 

haha realy. i knew that. i just cant find out wat. im taking the engine apart now

 

did you just use a hose to wash out the inside of your engine? i didnt think that was a good idea.i know i have had tons of electrical night mares with my gst and wouldnt ever want to get anything electrical wet on purpose

 

yea i did use a hose, which i have dne many times b4. n this time it f***d it up

 

i showered with my car pager remote in my pants hanging and it was fine for the first few times and now its dead. Amen to the eclipse remark lol.

 

well hopefully its not hydro locked and you dont need a new ecu. i thought i was getting a good car when i bought mine but it cost me another 5000 dollars after i bought it for 5k so it wasnt really the best move i have ever made. i should of researched more before i just jumped into it

 

Washing the engine compartment is really just asking for electrical problems. I think you have moisture in either the coil pack or ecu connectors. This won't necessarily dry up in a few hours, especially if it got inside something. You can get a can of electrical spray that will displace moisture. Wire dry is a name that comes to mind.

If you have to wash the engine compartment, do cover all the electical systems. Thos stretchy plastic bowl covers that look like old shower caps, work really well. When I do a degrease job, I cover the alternator, coil pack, ecu, fuse box and anything else electrical that I can get to.
