deep water = check engine light 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be lb on  Mon Jul 9 13:09 CST 2007 [RELATED]


I'd check the plugs to see if water somehow splashed into the plug wells although I wouldn't think ~6" of water would do it. Otherwise, letting it sit awhile in the summer heat will probably cure it. If you can read/reset the CEL I'd do it and see if it returns. If some water did get into a plug well, it would cause a misfire that would turn on the CEL. If you have no OBD-II reader, Autozone will read/reset it for you generally free
