Default ya think this can cause a misfire? *pics*

hey guys, a few days ago my car started missing real bad..... i mean bucking and popping and all sorts of crap, but it cleared up by the next morning. now today, pulling away from a light next to aturbo'd miata, my car starts the same **** again! [sm=headbang.gif]and to make it worse, the guy in the miata looks like he's laughing at me!

so i get home and start pulling coils and what do i find.......


plugs 1, 3 and 6 are completely under water![:@]so i used the pump thing from a bottle of Febreeze and pumped it out and then blasted the rest out with canned air......

Yeah definitely... How'd water even get in there anyway? You pressure washed the engine recently?

nope, but it was raining like crazy recently. but i think it's mostly because the previous owner thought it'd be cool to make the hood scoop 'functional' [:@]

Fo sho. Even if you don't replace the hood, fill that hole in with something. I'm no body man, but I would think* that you could fill it in with bondo or fiberglass or something just to make it water proof.

I had wondered if people who do this have problems with water in/on their engine. Now I know. [&:]
