Not sure if this is the right section (here or General Maintenance), but this is a problem that seems to stem back about a year and seems to be getting worse.
A tad over a year ago, in a muddy parking lot, I went through a mud hole where it stalled the truck. After some cranking and some MAF cleaner, it eventually fired up. No clue on do what happened. figured the steam from the water stalled the motor.
During the summer I had the Cap, Rotor, Plugs and Wires replaced.
This past Labour Day Long Weekend (CNTC club off-road & camping trip), as they would witness during the BobC trail, my truck couldn't make it through a waterhole. We figured it was water getting into my intake, a leak in the stock air box which has been deformed and the use of a cheap airfilter. It showed some water in there and on the filter, after some MAF cleaner and after some cranking, she eventually fired up.
During March break, on a very nice day, I decided to wash the truck, and at the same time clean the engine bay which was due. While the truck was running, I popped the hood and as the engine got a light spray, the truck stalled and couldn't fire up. Luckily, there was an air compressor with a nozzle in there as an option (first time I've seen this), and after passing that around the distributor area, she fired up.
Purchased a Volant intake, installed several weeks back, and a snorkel, yet to be installed.
Than this morning, the truck hasn't run since Friday evening coming home from work. This morning I go to start it, and get that same problem. The weather conditions; snow, rain and high winds Sunday and this morning; high humidity with heavy fog, so figured there's just alot of accumulated humidity under the hood.
I'm not sure what to make of it. Been trying to fire her up this morning, she kinda wants to, and I've got a few big bangs, more lilely after several tries and the accumulated fuel got ignited, which scared the crap out of me the first time.
I'm not at all sure what the problem is. I've got a new disty lined up to be installed, but haven't gotten around to it yet, but even then the cap and wires were done last year, unless it's worse because of it. (Napa parts and NGK wires). The times were we used MAF cleaner I think was just coincidence where we just bought time for it to dry out and eventually fire up.
