strange problem

[Lukey]

my car was making strange noises this morning

i got in my car for work at 5am, took off, and when i put my foot down a little bit it would make this 'bub bub bub bub bub' sound really quickly, could hear it thru the exhaust, and felt like i could feel it thru the gearknob/shifter

did it all the way to work

when i finished work at 230pm it did the same thing, til about half way home, and stopped, drove fine even after stopping and slowing down.

i got nfi what it could be.


i washed my engine bay yesterday, im probably way off, but water in sparkplugs?




just went for a drive to the end of my street, still doing it.

does it idle fine?

does it only do it in low revs/high revs? at a certain throttle position etc?

seems to idle fine to me

didnt rev over 4k as i didnt feel comfortable, did it up to there. pretty much any pressure on the throttle to keep the same speed or speed up will cause it.

quieter when keeping same speed, louder when speeding up

water in your filter some how, it was suffocating your motor???

[Lukey]

[beeza]

Just take the leads of to let it dry out.A blow dryer will speed it up :)

[Lukey]

[beeza]

ydep rp7 will work

your dizzy is on the other end of your sparkplug leads

they press onto a black plastic cap there is usually a few small bolts holding the cap on

leave the leads on just undo the bolts and remove the cap enough to spray it

then spray inside the cap and into the metal section it's conected to

[ek4-guy]

you may want to try what beeza mentioned first thoe because if it has happend to him twice it may be more common

[beeza]

I just use old T-shirts/rags to cover the plug holes,battery and any other electricals I don't want to damage now.

[beeza]

There must be a fair bit of water in there too.
