Engine Stumble/Miss
I picked up an 09 Touring base recently and have really enjoyed it however I ran into an issue I hope someone can give me a hand with.
I had it sitting in my driveway for a few days and we had some rain. When I went to drive it, the engine would nearly die around 4k and then pick back up. It continued to do so for about 20 minutes of drive time although I was babying it. It did clear up. The next day, everything was fine and I decided to wash it. After I was done washing it, I had the same issue. I had a '93 Ford Probe GT that did this and it ended up being plug wires. Any thoughts? I can give more info as needed. I haven't scanned it at this point and have not had any errors as far as cel. Tripper |
Does it have aftermarket intakes? Maybe filters getting wet
|
Next time it happens, pop the hood, look for water (shouldn't be any), and check the air filters (as per 7speed). If it's not the filters, I suspect a wet electrical connector.
The only thing I can think of that could cause engine problems (due to water) outside of the engine compartment is the O2 sensors. |
Run the engine and let it idle, using a spray bottle with just water, spray around all ignition components separately, when the idle drops out or raises when you spray a certain component you found your cause.
Start with coils and go from there |
Sorry for the delay. It does have the Injen intake installed. The PO must have installed it. Thanks for the tips and ill check it out. I believe there are some hydro filters available for these intakes from what I read.

Go ahead and clean the MAF's also.
