Quick Help, VR6 started running lumpy

[Jim Bowen 1]

Hi guys

 

Another thing....lol

 

Just took car out for lunch, normally use a different car, anyway went through a large puddle, not very fast or anything.

 

but afterwards car started to feel hesitant and lumpy, only at lower revs/engine speed.

 

Seemed to go away quite quickly after i put foot down for on a straight?

Coil pack or ignition leads.

Or avoid puddles.

 

The choice is yours.

UPDATE:

 

i had BIG troubles getting home in all that wetness on friday, car was misfiring most of the way home, very hard to pull away, idled lumpy too.

 

i looked under bonnet in pissing rain with a torch and could hear a weird clicking, turned off torch and could see sparks jumping about.

 

they were on the very bottom right corner of the rocker cover as you look at engine, I.e: just above coilpack, there is a long wire/tube that runs around there and along front of engine, going into inlet manifold i think???

 

anyway is something wrong there as the sparks were shorting out on a bracket that holds this pipe.

 

seems only to cause a problem in very wet situations
