My '02 got hit in the rear bumper and spent all last week in the body shop getting fixed.

The great folks at Langonet Auto body did a magnificent job on the bumper as well as scrubbing my car from top to bottom, inside and out. It appears that they completely cleaned under my hood too. But now I have a slight problem.

now, when I hit the gas there is a brief vacuum sucking sound before the car accelerates and a slight hesitation in power.

I have a Frankencar intake as well.

Should I just leave it alone for a while? Did something get wet that will eventually dry?

Thank you for the help.

I would take off you're filter, and see if it is wet, and take a look inside of the filter's pipe to see if there is any water left in there.

 

your filter is probably dirty ... or wet...
every time i get that problem i clean my filter

 

I don't care what products are out there to clean an engine...water and motor do mot mix. I would prefer a dirty engine.

 

I've never had a problem in 18+ years of driving and I've sprayed the **** out of the engine compartments in all my cars. I just avoid direct spray on the electrical components and air intake.

 

If done right.. I know it does a good job...But water always finds a way where it does not belong. I'll stay safe and dirty

 

That's why I never get my Max engine pressure washed. Especially on those belts.
