If I splash through any water, small puddles, light rain, etc, my truck dies and won't start back up. Starter turns the motor just fine, lights all work, etc. But my truck won't fire up.
A guy I once talked to said it was my coil packs on the fender getting wet. How would I go about finding the problem?
Should I pop the hood, and start sprayin' stuff with the water hose until it stops running?
And once I find the problem, what would be the best solution? Sealing it up with marine silicon sealant or somethin?
I heard this was a common problem on 1st gen 4bangers.
Thanks for the help ahead of time.
