water leak into da engine where all da spark plugs r.. tat happened after i washed my car.
next day, on da way home, i feltmy engine not running smooth, laggin very bad. its like da rev is keep goin up, but cant feel much power kicks in. and da engine vibrated very bad.
i took out da spark plug wires, there was water inside da engine.. so i changed new spark plugs, try to dry up everything. and then everything bak to normal.
untill 3 days after same thing happened again.
i dun think i can afford to change sprk plug every 3 days.. so wat should i do now?
any suggestoin guys?
thx

pornstar fixed most of the problem by changing the leads..

if you have changed the plugs and then the leads i would be looking toward the ignition
id say condensation in the alternator cap
although it would make it misfire and carry on, not just feel sluggish
try the leads mate

half of the problem though ?
damn.. seems like it runs much better though..

As in the vibration has stopped, smoother gear changes etc.

your leads are leaking water into the spark plug bore, you dont need to be replacing plugs all the time just dont let your rocca cover get to wet
