Rb25det Running Bad

[Aif]

the other week queensland finaly got some rain and my car ran like crap, so i put the stock air box on and it was ok after a while. this weekend again, rain, car ran crap, but now that the rain is gone it still sounds like not all cylinders are fireing properly (my RB sounds like a subaru), My cousin said it sounds like maybe my plugs are gone (copper plugs changed 1 or 2 months ago when tuned) or my coils are shagged. does it sound like it would be my coils plugs AFM or something else.

man i had similar thing happen during the rain.. idle seemed to fluctuate arround 750 rpm instead of the normal 650 rpm.. I too using copper plugs which have down about 5000 - 7000 k's (first time ive used coppers in my skyline) migth just be coincedence ???

no vents on the bonnet, but the machanic that came out to check it out said he could hear the spark escaping and that it was shitty coils, and that they may have worked fine when it was dry but as soon as any kind of moisture was in the air BAM, i'd loose spark.

so im just waiting for my splitfire coils

yay

yeah dude will prob be your coil packs, wen it rains air gets bit colder and will mis-fire and carry on cause spark is escaping. try pullin coil packs off and wrapping some heat resistent electrical tape round em, if that helps it time for a new set of spit fires coils!

cheers

thanks for your replies guys, i got a set of split fires from SLIDE and when i was installing them i found that there was close to half a f%*king cup of water drowning the coil packs and s/plugs,

yeah i know what your thinking. (WTF)

where i live i park in a rather steep driveway and when it rain for a few days tyhe water ran down my car and flowed over the part where the wipers are, into thew engine bay and into through the coil cover,

i should have taken some pics for you guys, the water finished just below the bracket that u screw the coils into, between the 2 cases.

thanks again,

sounds like your getting water into your intake. i have had that on my car when i go through big puddles. i have a hole under the pod filter where i think the stock intercooler went, and the water heads up through there into the air filter. makes the car run like s**t for a while.

I think if you had bothered reading the thread you would have realised he figured out what the problem was

either way good to hear its fixed
