    Post wet engine vs v8

    Hey all help me please! I wet the engine bay of my vs v8 very slightly with the hose while it was running but before i could get in and keep it running it stalled and now it just winds over and will not start.

    How long ago was it mate? May just need to give it some time to dry out and it should be fine, however not sure what problems arise while wetting an engine while its running, as it's fine to degrease an engine but yea your meant to cover up all the electric components... You could have just got some water in the ignition system?

    Mate you have water in the coil lead or if it was hot and you hosed it you can shock coil and thats the end of it.Check for spark at plug.Coil is down back of engine or you have water in the ignition moduel

    So you needed to make two threads to ask the same thing?
