I bought this car April 15 2020. It ran pretty well then, until one day (couple months ago) my mechanic used a pressure washer on everything under the engine cover and beneath the engine as well. My car started to shake when it was on idle a couple of days after that wash day. The shaking came from the engine. I went back to the mechanic and he regulated with something on top the air filter so the idle RPM increased a little above 10. It stopped the shaking and stabilised the car. But there was another issue that happened after the wash, the engine quickly dies after starting it. To keep it alive I had to press on the gas pedal. Whenever it is on idle and low RPM it dies.
Any ideas what is going on with the car? I don't dare to visit that mechanic again.
Thanks in advance!
