Default I really need some help...engine loping

Ok here's the story. Washed the car but didn't get the engine wet. Went to start her up for a cruise and the engine is loping..........like there isn't getting enough fuel???? It doesn't stall out but it drives rough. I thought it was bad gas but I did run it for 25 miles and that didn't help at all. So what do you all think the problem is. Also it isn't throwing any codes or any light on the dash????? Please give me some idea's.......thanks

Mine used to miss at high RPM after a wash before I got the hood seal. My advice would be to take the filter off and let it dry or blow it out with an air gun. Don't know if this is the problem, but that happened with mine and thats what I did. Good luck,

Hi Gale

How is the weather? It is getting hot here in Louisiana. Does it ever get hot in Kona? Glad you got that problem fixed. Jimmy
