Vectra C Prefacelift running problem

[Keil87]

Hi all

I have just cleaned my car, with hosepipe sponge etc.

I then drove my car around the block, to realise my car has lost all power? its a 2.2 sri and has been fine since I got it. Is it possible that water has got into the engine. Is there any quick fix to get around this as I only have acces to this car, and really need it for today?

i presume you mean its got a missfire,if you've washed under the bonnet my guess is you may have got water in where the plugs are i suggest removing the coil pack which is under the eco-tec badge & remove the plugs give everything a wipe off,maybe even replace the plugs & then refit & try it.if not you will need an air line & blow it at all of the wiring & connectors to get rid of any moisture.if you have'nt washed under the bonnet it may be just a coincidence or you may still have sprayed water into the engine compartment & again try plugs first if that does'nt cure it,it may be the coil pack itself you can get these for aprox �80.
