I have a 2004 3 2.3L manual. I took it to car wash and it was running fine. I washed the engine bay as I always do. Drove for about a block and started to have a small amount of acceleration problems and the engine was running rough. I didn’t notice if the CEL came on right away but it flickers on and off as the car kind of shutters.

I'm thinking maybe water got into air filter or throttle body just going to check that out. Any Ideas? Always good to have others opinions>

Thanks

 

Sounds like you got a sensor wet or you got water in the intake area. Should clear up after it dries. I would take a good look at those areas and be very cautious when cleaning it again.

I did the same to my GF's car and the blinkers would flash intermittently a couple of times and went away quickly. So the high pressure washer if too long in the engine bay can cause issues of course. All connections even though "Sealed" can still leak in water.
