Went through a big puddle

Recommended Posts

went through a big puddle last night and my electrics seem to have suffered. the car dies unless the throttle is wide open and will only accelerate with full gas.

 

other than spraying everything with wd40, any ideas. its a 2.0 16v K plate btw.

 

thanks!

I would have thought you'd need to clean out all of the idle valve and dizzy.... Clean the spark plugs out to, they be contaminated!!!

cheers everyone! i think i'll try spraying a bit of wd40 on everything and hoping the sun has dried up all the rain a little bit.

 

other than that, i'll be hitching a lift home!
