Hi All,

I have got a Turbo2000 which has got a nasty misfire after a night of very heavy rainfall.. I had it the other day too but after the engine warmed up the misfire cleared and thought nothing else of it.. but this morning after a really heavy night of rain the misfire just wont clear..

I know it is most likely going to be the coilpack or something along those lines, but i was just wondering if anyone has had this before and found a solution for the problem. Also if it is the coilpack does anyone know how much they are??

Thanks
Lee

 

My car does this after it rains heavy, and like you say clears up when the engine is warm, my did it more when i had the small vent covers off....but iv no idea what causes it.

mine was same when i took the vent covers off (which makes no diffrence at all) everytime it rained it would for 5 mins of warm up miss like hell. think its cause water dropplets get on to were leads go onto plugs and arc's the spark cos they dont like being wet........vent back on not dont it since

 

Thats because your not suppose to remove the covers because the electrics are below one of them, get those wet and you will have problems!

I have not taken the covers off.. i am just wondering if over time the housing for the coil has cracked and since it has not been raining this bad for a long time i have just not noticed it.. i hope its something simple.. cant be bothered to be doing too much work in this awful weather..

 

With mines its a case of the MAF getting damp, getting via the induction kit.

 

I thought it would be down to the MAF too. Mine does it, let it warm up...give her a bit of a boot and it clears...

 

mine has the same problem

 

Mmmm mines been doing the same today.

 

same here maf gets wet, do you have an induction kit?

 

i have got a standard airbox so i doubt its the MAF but i will check it out tomorrow..

 

Std airbox for me too, but no under bonnet sheilds.

I thing ill refit them and water proof the lot then see how it goes. The retaining clip has been broken off the plug on mine though.

 

I have had this a couple of times lately!

Like yours only happens after heavy rain fall then clears after car has been running for a while?

Its only started since i put a induction scoop on to get more cold air onto my hks induction kit.

 

Mines never done it even with no covers? I've put them back on to see if there is a difference.
