Water making the car act funny

[Prettyazznouka]

Ive noticed that every time I take the car to the car wash and when its done I can drive fine but when I try to boost it boggs down. Whats causing that? Water in the intercooler? It will happen all night untill the next day and it will boost fine.

Now yesterday I started it up and tried to drive it would stall out. I checked vac lines, wiped off a sensor and let it run for while. When I tried to rev it, it would eventually, kinda sputtered, then after maybe 10-15 mins of running it was how it supposed to. It rained alot the night before Im wondering if water is the cause again

Sounds like you took off the rear rubber seal off the hood and water is getting into the MAP.

Whatever it is... It sounds like water... Make sure everything is sealed so water can't get under the hood. Make sure all seals are good. Take your hose or a bucket of water and spray/pour it on your hood. Then open your hood and see if there are any wet spots from leaks. If so try to fix the leak. Let us know what happens.

Ill do that and see what happens.... I only happens when I go to the car wash. Not when I wash it myself with a pressure hose. I think I know whats causing the water to get into the bay

i have the same problem whenever it rains heavy the next day when i come to a stop and the car is in neutral the car starts struggliging to stay on and the rpm fluxuates. I cant figure out were the water is getting into. last time i covered the air filter and afm with a towel when it rained but that did nothing

 

[str8_6]

same problem ONLY when i take it to the car wash though. it rains a lot here and it never happens when raining.

also it sputters for only a few seconds though.

my own sputters for about 5-10 min of driving

Pull your rear plug wires off. There is probably water sitting on top of your plugs.
