OK I went to the laserwash, drove about 2 miles and then took off from a stop sign and BOOM, , , Black Smoke billowing from the back and I had to floor it to get into my freinds driveway at about 2 MPH. let it sit for a min, fired right up!?!? been running fine since put about 150 miles on it since then, runs great! think I should worry???

 

you probably got water on the opti.

 

opti spark may have gotten water in it.

 

Opti spark...yeah, Kevman was tellin me never take an F-body to an auto wash, cause they wash under your car, and if they get to the opti spark, its gone.

 

is there a way to prevent that from happening?

 

Yeah, don't take it to the car wash.


Some optis are sealed better than others. It's just better not to temp fate.

 

or just wait for it to dry and really **** people off cause you can't move till you do...

 

uh whats an "opti" do and why would a car run like crap when it gets wet?

 

Opti=optispark=distributor.

 

I first thought that maybe the MAF got water in it, , and when the wire cooled off, bam the pcm went full rich, but the Opti - water thing sounds more plausible
