well..just got back from the Ocean City, Maryland, summer cruise. Thursday night into all day friday it rained...alot. I drove my car about a mile in some serious rain....and alot of standing water. I then parked the car in a covered outside parking lot.
I got into the car on friday night and it was popping under acceleration (and a lil bit at idle) really bad...i mean serious popping/backfire. It did the same thing today (saturday). So I thought it was somer moisture in the cap. I got a new cap, rotor, and a new set of Accel 8.8 wires. Still the same thing.
On the way home it all of a sudden stopped...for about 2 hours..ran fine!!...then it started again..bad!!
Im not sure what it is. I have a proform HEI...with no MSD box or anything. I think it might be the ignition module in the distributer, b/c there was a lil bit of rust on it when I had the cap off. Could that cause this popping/backfire???
