Turbohood on N/A, car shuts off after car wash!
What's up guys,
I have an 88 N/A with a turbohood. During car washes, it has stalled on me twice. After 15 minutes or so, it starts up again. Once was a hand car wash and the other time mechanical car wash. Now its obvious something is getting wet, but what?
Also, what do you guys recommend for preventing this? Any ideas? I like the look of the hood, but don't wanna keep goin through this everytime I get it washed.
Thanks for your info!

Hmmmm....If your going thru a car wash, id recommend turning the car off while the car is getting washed (some washes have like a conveyor system while others just have u pull up to a specific spot)....In either case, u can shut the car down while its being cleaned. But i guess u would run the risk of not being able to start up again after the wash cycle ends.....

Just wash the car by hand and see how it does. I started doing this and the car seems better.
