[QUOTE="Doctor CAD, post: 990203, member: 65663"] Drove in a gigantic rain storm last night, like a 4" per hour downpour. The road was about 6" deep and traffic was very heavy and water was splashing well over the hood. The Trac did well. I got home and parked. This morning, it wouldn't stay running at idle, so I held the gas pedal down a bit to keep it going, but it was missing very bad and lots of stink was blowing around. After about 15 minutes of restarting and trying to keep it running, I opened the hood figuring that if there was enough heat that any water would dry itself out. After a few minutes, it started right back up and ran perfectly after that. Would this indicate a cracked coil? Any other ideas? (2003 Trac) [/QUOTE]
