Wet something?

Post by pimpdaddy »

Today as i was driving i couldnt help but to drive into a decent sized puddle. But after the puddle i drove home just fine. I later go to leave and my 91 legacy starts to act up. The motor now runs ruff and i have allmost lost all the power in it. If someone can help it would be much appreciated. :(

Depending how big the puddle was and how long it was running rough, you might have a cracked knock sensor and water got into it

Also check the spark plug wells on the heads & other associated wiring.

If you look straight down at the engine around the area where the throttle cables hook up to the throttle cam, you should see a round black thing with a wire coming out and a bolt going through the middle. That's the knock sensor.

I believe I labeled it in these pics.
