Started the car and it was coughing and gargling like a big block cigarette boat with above water exhaust. It sounded so cool I took video of it. I think it was just burning off all the crud and spray in there and sounded like it was misfiring a little. Maybe I used too much. Ran it for a little while to clear up all the gunk and then it idled smooth. Time to go for a drive and see how she does. I love weekends with sunny skies and nothing to do.
You should change your oil right away. That corrosive stuff shouldn't stay in your engine for too long. Change your oil ASAP man.
