problem: Car idles low and rough, secondaries won't open, car dies if throttle isn't applied lightly.
back story:
after a recent tranny rebuild and subsequent freshening up (vacum lines, new plugs, new DIS module) my car is still running like shitake. Car was running but it was rought. Replaced plugs and car ran like a champ (compared to it's previous state) went out for test run/ice cream. on the way back from getting ice cream the car died. idle had dropped and then took a corner under light throttle, getting into it about 50% throttle after apexing, She then promptly died. Couldn't get it restarted. pulled into shopping center with what momentum i had. It then preceded to POUR down rain for about 1/2 an hour (nearly 4 inches) while i waited for a tow truck. (mind you my hood was not on the car at the time). took car back home a la tow truck. Couldn't get it started. figured it was DIS module. replaced it and it started and ran like crap. had a wild hare up the @ss and decided to check plug wells. Water had filled the plug wells nearly to the top. siphoned the water out of the plug wels as best i could. started. car ran for a while. Heard fairly loud rpm dependent noise through intake. sounded like valve chatter. turned it off. Decided to take off intake manifold to check for additional water on top of engine. cleaned top of engine. Installed Big Bore Butterflies. Put intake back on. car now runs like stated above.
ANY idea what i have done to my poor baby? have pleanty of fuel. tested 43psi at rail.
removed LPM today and car wil not even start.
i'm about at wits end with her. i hope somone has an idea, if not and i can't get her running properly within 2 days she's going to the shop and getting sold (need the money for school, parents idea.)
