I droped alot of water and coolaint on my opti

I started missing like mom at a basball game but now it runs fine most of the time but sometimes it studders really bad at part throtle and it never did this befor i spilled the water.

Is ther something i should try to clean or do to the opti before i have to spend 250 to replace it?

Oh and would i have to replace the whol thing or just the cap and rotor?

hey, i did the same thing to mine a few months back, and it dried out, but DAMN it ran like crap until then. it had no power at launch, and then i had to floor it, and then it took off like a bat outta hell, rear end cut out on me constantly. i'd say give it a good week or two to dry out, then replace it only if needed..

I take it your car is a 97 from your screenname. You have the vented opti then, which will be more conducive to letting the opti dry out.

One of two things will happen, either it will dry out and be fine, or you'll have to change it.

How long has it been acting this way?
