nb8b idle/heat issue [W/VIDEO]

Postby narita » Sun Jun 23, 2013 7:57 pm

Getting quite desperate to fix this issue.

The other day I drove from work & went straight to the car wash.
Because it wasnt warmed up enough by then I washed the car while it was running.

Now it seems since then I have been having a delay in idle drop:

Whats worse is thst it seems this slightly advanced idle is causing the car to heat up alot quicker with alot more heat.

Once driving for a while I can feel the idle get rougher and smell coolant.

Im pretty lost for ideas, I went to witon last week and the car was flawless and the temp was fine.
