I have a 98 gsr and i was doinga really in depth detail on it which involved pressure washing the motor, after this on my way home (5 miles) it began to misfire and check engine light was flashing. when i got home i opened up the distributer cap and let it sit overnigt hoping it would evaporate all the moisture. tHe next morning I noticed the a nipple on the evap puge control solenoid was cracked. so i replaced it and reset the ecu. When i started it up it was cool for a little bit, but then it started misfiring again and check engine light blinking again.

Someone please help!

Adjust valves
Compression test

Are there any CELs stored?

Check engine lights. You 98 GSR should be able to provide details as to why it is misfiring. Look at the Integra FAQ thread for CEL details.

well i think i may just need a valve adjustment then, but why would pressure washing it cause a need for those things

I missed that part about the pressure washing. Pull the CELs to see if all of the cylinders are misfiring. You are most likely correct about the cap. Just let the CELs guide your diagnosis.

so what if the tech tells me i need a valve adjustment should i believe him or what? b/c how could that be coused by pressure washing, wht should i do about the cap?
