Hello there zilvia members, i have a concern that doesnt seem to plague many of us sr20 owners(believe me ive searched). My car has ran and drove fine up to this point.
I left the windows down on the car yesterday and while i was gone the random florida rain decided to piss all over my car and when i got back i only expected a wet seat and some puddles. I start it up and it idles fine, no hiccups or misses.
Then im cruising down the street and i get to the big street where i can get out of first, i give it throttle, first stumbled once it got to about 3500rpm then i shifted to 2nd not thinking anything of it and then it started sputtering like crazy with anymore than 1/4 throttle and was spitting out black smoke. did this in every gear and wont rev past 4k AT ALL.
So obviously something got a little too wet. What i almost always read about when i was searching this was a wet distributor, obviously we dont have these so its gotta either be a spark plug, coil pack, some ground, or some plug/subharness piece. but what confuses me is that i drive my car in the rain all the time so i doubt the rain got up under my cars hood and ruined something.
i checked and dried the ground on the passenger side above the ecu, its fine. anywhere else in the car i should be checking?
Also if you have any more ideas let me know, i didnt see any cracks or naked wires that couldve tooken on some water, so im kind of stuck in my search right now.
Could the maf have gotten wet and fried? its been a day and been dry for a while now, still tjhe same problem
