Engine not running well,

[darreningram]

e280 was running perfect prior to spray clean underneath and waxoyl applied- no engine not smooth, smokey and loss of power- ? Relay gone, any ideas appreciated?

Feels like it is running on 4 cylinders

Seems to be improved when car warm- not right though- smoke coming from mid exhaust, ? Silencer box- engine lumpy, not smooth- should have just left it dirty!! Any ideas? Fuel relay?

 

[darreningram]

Update! Car is fine when cold and very smooth- when starts to warm up engine gets lumpy, loss of power- could it be fuel mix? relay?- Thanks in advance if you can help

You've probably got water in the spark plug wells, the ecu will shutdown a cylinder with a constant misfire after a few minutes, hence the feeling of running on 4 cylinders when warm.

Where are you located?

Is there anything I can do to clear it?

Ah, too far for a quick look then.

Take off the center part of your rocker cover so you can get to the spark plugs, I expect you'll find water in the bottom.
