Well, went to leave for work this morning and the car stalled twice just backing it out of the garrage, normally it just goes even when its cold so I thought this was quite odd, after pulling up at the lights at Carseldine, I noticed that it sounded as if it was running on 3 or less cylinders, Idling up and down sounding like it would stall out at low revs, then I noticed it starting to surge when I backed off the accelerator, all I can put it down to so far is water over something electronic, I went through that much rain on the way home lastnight it must have got on something.. anyway, should get me home no problems till I can find out whats going on.

When I was at skidpan I managed to get water in my dizzy cap. That made me run on 3 cyls...and I'm guessing youve driven through more water in the past two days that I did at the skidpan.

Probably equates to somewhere near the volume of an olympic swimming pool.. :dry:

My car sounded like it was running on 2 cylinders on the way home, but at least it got me home, lucky its a Toyota or I'd be getting towed home, engine bay resembled the titanic after I got home, hit so many huge puddles of water and went it submarine style, came close to hitting a tree that had fallen across one road, owned my suspension on so many pot holes, just about lost control at 60km/hr hitting a puddle, so yeah, my ride home was fun..

wow - i don't think i can rememebr being in a car (and knowing at the time) which was running on less than normal cyl's - does it sound any different? or does it just have Really bad peformance?

Performance is practically the same, just the thing won't idle, and surges (probably that 4th cylinder kicking in)

I had a plug lead that was arcing out to the radiator and that is some you can tell - the bloody thing was stalling at 60kph - now that is damn scarey in traffic
