'98 Turbo2000 Misfire after heavy rainfall
Hi All,
I have got a Turbo2000 which has got a nasty misfire after a night of very heavy rainfall.. I had it the other day too but after the engine warmed up the misfire cleared and thought nothing else of it.. but this morning after a really heavy night of rain the misfire just wont clear..
I know it is most likely going to be the coilpack or something along those lines, but i was just wondering if anyone has had this before and found a solution for the problem. Also if it is the coilpack does anyone know how much they are??
Thanks
Lee

I have not taken the covers off.. i am just wondering if over time the housing for the coil has cracked and since it has not been raining this bad for a long time i have just not noticed it.. i hope its something simple.. cant be bothered to be doing too much work in this awful weather..

I have had this a couple of times lately!
Like yours only happens after heavy rain fall then clears after car has been running for a while?
Its only started since i put a induction scoop on to get more cold air onto my hks induction kit.
