Ignition Wires & Water... 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Dans on  Wed Mar 31 04:29 CST 2004 [RELATED]

The on going saga of the wagon continues...
The car died again on me after highway driving in heavy rain...
came off the road, got to the lights, had to wait for the green
and as I started to pull thru the engine cut out.
Fortunately I rolled right into a parking lot...whew!

At any rate, I took a real hard look at everything and found
that water is being thrown up the firewall onto the distro.

I pulled the wire (all new btw) from the coil and found what looked like
droplets of water inside the cap and it seemed to have leaked down the wire
and inside the cap...

Dried it out and sprayed the wires and disto with clear ign spray
and it seems to have prevented stalling today while driving in the same condx.
Anyone else found this kind of problem? ... Never experienced the problem
with the car until this winter...
