Lol, dont say that! worrying. Anywho, my car doesnt seem to be too bad now. well, yesterday, when it was dry. car seems a little sluggish.. but full tank of petrol just put in and very cold car, so that could have something to do with it. time will tell! | |

If your engines sucked in water, then could be bent con rods, resulting in low compression in the offending cyliners, resulting in power loss and missfire. Had a ST170 in work today with K&N on it, sucked in shit loads and had bent 1,2 and 4. New engine required, £4k. | |

Oh, just mis-read, if you haven't fitted anything to the engine then don't worry about what I just wrote... :lol: | |

First time for everything :) If the problem persists don't ignore it as it will get worse and will cost more. Though, as it has been so wet I would bet it's moisture in one of the electrical components of the engine - should dry out overnight. Induction kits don't do many favours in the wet either... We had a problem like this a few weeks ago - my mates car wouldn't start, we were at the side of the road broken down... He called the AA, they turned up a few hours later, went to start the car and it was fine :(:) | |

Basically, I dont know whats wrong but since the stupid amounts of rain today and me living in hampshire where the roads are basically lakes, my car keeps loosing its power (1.4 Corsa B that is) at first i thought it was because i was low on petrol but it did it again after coming through a particually large amount of water just then. Basically if i put my foot down, the car sputters and jerks, and shortly after that, going up a hill, i just didnt have any power at all. its not a particually steep hill, can normally do 70 easily in 5th, but i actaully had to change down to 3rd to keep it going at 40-50ish. |
