Default Bucking and not idling
It started happening a couple weeks ago. Every time I wash my car when I start it, it runs like crap and starts bucking and wont idle. After a day or so its fine. Something in my engine bay is getting wet and I cant figure out what. PLease help???

More than likely its your optispark that is getting a little wet. It has happened to me and my friend before. I wish they made some sort of a cover for the optispark.
