New here, I had even forgotten I even had a account..
here is my issue. I got a 2001 Sonta with 4 cyl engine. The check engine light came on after I washed the engine. I did not use high pressure. I just used a scrub brush with soap and cleaned everything real good. then lightly hosed off.
I have changed the fuel filter, checked for vacuum leaks. I took a cap and closed off intake and pressurized it to see if I can find a air leak.. I can not hear so good so finding a vacuum leak with motor running was pointless. I also sprayed a sensor safe cleaner to clean the sensor in the intake.. And I used that same cleaner to spay around every vacuum line I could find, no noticeable engine change..
It cranks and runs OK. Has a little hesitation from time to time and bucks every now and again. Nothing major. But I know something is wrong...
I am stuck, i hate taking any car into shop. And i like working on my own stuff and getting it fixed, but this is kicking me hard......
I have cleared the codes 3 times and they come back.. I have not disconnected the battery yet....
