suberx Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Well my 98 legacy gt was sitting in water that came over the floor board about 2.5 inches. Got it out and put water remmover and gas treatment in tank. That was 3 days ago. It starts rough, runs horrible, and won't idle. Air filter seemed dryand plugs but didnt pull them. An thoughts?

Pinsk18 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Check plugs and wires and coil pack. Start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stang70Fastback Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Fully submerge it under 12 feet of water for three more months and it will run fine... I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted June 7, 2012 I Donated Share Posted June 7, 2012 You probably have water in the engine. Pull the plugs and crank the engine over several times to spit out all the water. Then reinstall plugs -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

johnegg Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 before you pull the plugs, double check to make sure there isn't water in the spark plug tube / holes. this could cause mis-fires. and i doubt the amount of water is enough to ''drain'' into the cylinder when the plug is removed but better safe than sorry. how much water ? 2.5 inches above the floor, or above the rocker panel/bottom of the door. there is a pretty big difference. and the spark plugs were probably under water. the plugs are the same level as the frame member which starts out under the floor.
