I hadn't drove my TL in a couple of months....& because of parking constraints, I had to park my car about 40 minutes away from me. So finally I start the car yesterday and it started up fine...kinda sluggish because of the 2 months it was on chill mode but after it warmed up it was just fine....I drove the car about 30 miles and I went to rinse the car off...I attempted starting the car but in order for it to stay turned on, I had to keep the key turned on....it feels like its losing compression...any ideas regarding this? I'm not sure if its a new engine or a part that's necessary...hoses belts anything!! please HELP!!!

Did you get it figured out?

If you drove or ran the engine with water inside the cap- there will be cross fire cracks inside=BAD
Buy a new cap just in case- you go to al lthe trouble to remove it...
And a can of wd40 sprayed liberally in the area will remove other moisture and lube stuff back up

wd-40 actually means Water Dispersant formula #40

Washing the engine bay is tricky. You have to know what you are doing.
