Strange idle after radiator bleed...in the rain
#1
Radiator shop bled my radiator in the rain yesterday, and driving home I've noticed that the car idles weird when I slow down or park. I'm guessing that maybe water got to the plugs or something. Gonna get that checked in a bit.

Anyone got any other ideas?

Are you suggesting they got water in your spark plugs whilst bleeding the radiator?

I'm more wondering why they would bleed the radiator with the spark plugs out? Lol

Ok. I found the problem. Turns out the connector for the oxygen sensor was in a sad state due to age, somehow the water shorted the circuitry for said sensor. I changed the connector, cleared the error, and all is now just fine. 306 Estate Ph3
