I hope someone has had a similar problem: my 87 GXE was in great shape a week ago, then I decided to clean under the hood. Using Kleen-Flo Engine cleaner, I cleaned everything that looked dirty. The directions on the Kleen-Flo bottle indicate that I need to spray the stuff off after application with water. So I did, and now the car is having trouble starting. I checked:
-Spark plugs, fan belt, and battery.
Here's what happens: I start the car, and the engine will run OK for about 20 seconds, and then it starts making a high pitched noise, followed by a high pitched choking sound, then it dies. I've dried all the spark plugs, and that didn't do it either. The fuel injection system makes an 'airy humming noise' if I turn the ignition to ACC. I've checked hoses too, there doesn't seem to be a leak. I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
