Hey guys i need help, i have a 96 300ex and when ever i go through water deep or shallow my machine either bogs down or stalls all together.Im pretty sure its not electrical ive sprayed every inch of wiring with a water bottle and nothing happens,if i spray the top of the motor with a hose it will gound like a gurgle than it dies but only at idle if i rev the engine and do it nothin happens,its not water getting in to the air box either thats dry,any ideas would be greatly appreciated

 

Is your spark plug boot in good shape?

 

yeah first thing i thought of

 

Maybe, just maybe, the plug wire itself has broken down and has micro cracks in it. Sometimes amateur mechanics pierce the wire with a meter probe to check voltage. Just a thought. I mean, if it's dying when you spray the top of the motor, it's got to be electrical near the plug somewhere. I can't think of anything else it could be.

 

alright ill try replacing the plug wire and see what happens,thanks alot i hopre it works
