Hi guys i had my engine wash to install the valve cover gaskets now my radiator fan stays on when i start the car and i have the engine light on, also when im driving the car shuts off, i have to start it to continue driving seems as if it shokes. Does anybody know what is cuasing it, help please.

 

Get the CEL codes.

 

stupid question...
did you wrap any of the electrical parts in plastic?

 

Shouldnt have to cover anything, some people cover their alternators, and some (even fewer) cover their dizzy.
I never cover anything up, never had any drama's, even when spraying up underneath the engine bay (apart from a couple of minutes of odd idle RPMs each time while the distributor is drying)
Fuses are covered in boxes and wires have harnesses for reasons

 

these cars are approaching 20 yrs...you think the rubber/plastic electrical seals are intact after 20 yrs?

it's your car...if it works for you so be it but what works for you might not work for others.

 

Rad fans on all the time usually means the coolant temp sensor either has a bad connection, or has malfunctioned..In your case the harness connector at the cts may be full of water, usually from a broken rubber boot cover on the end of the harness plug..

 

take you dis cap off and dry it out.

 

keep running it untill everything drys out.......thats the good part about h20... it evaporates

 

Thanks guys.

 

Go to and automotive store and buy some CRC 556. You can spray this on all your wires and in your distributer cap. It helps take moisture out of wires and the electronics in the distributor.

 

WD40...same thing

 

Close, but not really. I wouldn't spray it in a distributor. I know it's said that WD stands for water displacemnet, but I believe WD is water based. CRC is not so it evaps faster

 

It's not water based, it works so good it's surpress cross fire, and yes, it stands for water displacement 40, Ive never had a nissan cap get wet inside, check your cap gasket it's defective or your cap is cracked!
