Hi just wonderd if any 1 has had the problem of spluttering after its rained.
Basicaly the car starts fine and ticks over fine but when the car gets warm to the point where the temp guage starts to move it suddenly develops a loss of power sometimes a misfire but it never brings the cel on does this for about 2-5 mins depending how long and hard its rained. Had it on diagnosis twice but never logs a fault. The strange thing is it will boost fine but i dont like to boost when still cold and dont want to sit running the engine for 10-15 mins to get to full temperature. In dry conditions it never misse a beat its already had a full service fuel filter all fluids changed air filter sparkplugs just wish it would bring up a fault as its doing my head in just want to get it sorted

 

Has the intake system been modified or the bonnet vents been removed?

 

Air intake? When mine had a standard intake box there was no issue at all. With a cone it stutters in heavy rain with these symptoms under heavy loads. Must get it changed . . . .

 

I'm going through this at the moment, although my CEL is coming on

 

Sounds to me like you have an induction cone, mine does the same.

 

Ok thanks guys put induction kit on cos was going for front mount but as mine is a 98 it cnt be mapped so will revert back vent covers still on as i ran a cold airfeed it was the fact the cel never came on that got me confused again thanks alot cant complain first problem ive had in 4years
