davecash 0 Posted July 28, 2006 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!

mtc R32 0 Posted July 28, 2006 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!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davecash 0 Posted July 28, 2006 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
