I have been working away for 2 weeks, i left my s2 in the works compound, came back yesterday, checked oil, water & brake fluid, then started her up, sounds like she is running on 3, sounds like an impreza!

Help me please, what can it be?

water in somewhere? its just sat there for 2 weeks solid, then started up straight away, but sounds crap & i dont want to drive it far, it feels bogged down

Please give me some ideas, as i need to make a few trips this evening & dont want it running like this, many thanks in advance

 

DAMP IN DIZZY CAP

 

what can i do?

 

moisture in distributor cap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

TAKE IT OFF AND GIVE IT A SPRAY WITH WD40 CLEAN OUT REFIT SHOULD SORT IT

 

many thanks!

will give it a go now

 

just been out to play with mine and she done the same thing, i just put it down to the cold

 

DIZZY CAPS ARE KNOWN FOR GETTING CONDENSATION IN THEM WHEN WINTER SETS IN, GIVE IT A GOOD SPRAY ON THE PLUG ON THE DIZZY AS WELL USUALLY SORTS EM OUT

 

gave it a spray, then a wipe, then another spray & a wipe, running better, guess once it warms up & the wd40 evaporates, it will be back in business!

cheers for the help

Merry crimbo everyone, i'm off to my folks now

 

U found your water leak yet

 

water leak?

 

oh, the one in the car, nah mate, i have been away & couldnt get any time off work, so it will have to wait till later, got a feeling its the fuse box, had a quick look at it last night, not looking too healthy, bring on the sealant

 

Which side is it again?

If its passenger side ill bet u a jam tart its the battery tray

 

drivers side

i have had a look at the battery tray, and it looks like it has been replaced before, so fingers crossed thats ok!
