Well i took my car out for the first time in about 2 months so i drove it over to the car wash, washed my car not the enigne or anything and when i was leaving i gave it a lil gas and it started to stutter real bad it only did it when i would get in to a lil when i was driving at low rpms it was fine i dont no what it is and it only happened for about 5 mins then was fine.....any ideas?

 

mine kinda does the same thing but only occasionally and only from a dead stop or almost dead stop still havent figured it out yet.

if you have an auto heck even if you have a stick try something out for me and let me know what happens, do this run your car at crusing speed with the cruise controll on using cruise to maintain speed, bump the shifter into neutral or if you have a stick push the clutch in. dont touch the brake and let me know if the cruise system gets disabled or if it stays on and still trys to speed the car up? I have another thread with no responses from an auto only one guy with a 97 6 spd, either post here or in the thread called cruise controll hits revlimiter. thanks sorry for the hijack

 

Got the same problem man, look at my post, still trying to figure it out.

Most likely you got your opti wet. Then once it dried out it was fine. You really shouldent take our cars through car washes, wash it by hand cause water spray can still get underneath the car and splash up and hit the opti.

 

If it's back to normal, don't worry about it. Have a CAI? Maybe a little water was sucked up that's all.

 

my car returned to normal after like 5 mins and acted fine since i just took it through a power washer so i guss it got it a lil on the opti and i420tom ill try that for u the next time i have my car out

 

now my car seems to take awhile to to start up do u think i messed up my opti ...after it starts its fine ...any ideas....

 

mine doesnt stutter after the rain but hesitate on idle till stuff dries up.... new motor btw

 

sorry for continuing to hijack but when i push in the clutch my cruise goes off sounds like your neutral saftey switch
back to the topic i took mine through the automatic car wash to spray up underneath to get the salt off of it not thinking about the opti and now i need a new one
