Hi,

I have an 88 740 GLE Wagon. It was pouring rain Sunday night and I hit a huge puddle at about 40 mph. The car sputtered and completely died. Spark is good but I found that the injectors are pouring the fuel in. When I pull the #1 fuse the car will start and run until, I can only assume, the fuel runs out. The minute I plug in the #1 fuse it dies again. It started this morning (30 degrees), with fuse #1 plugged in, and it ran extremely rich and died....
So the injectors are probably getting a constant current. I need to verify but it's definitely running extremely rich which is killing the engine.
Anyone ever have this problem before?

Thanks in advance.
