Well I ran into another problem with the car yesterday…driving in the rain and the whole street is flooded and there is no where to go…splash!!! take the car through the puddle and all of a sudden hiccup hiccup and the SES light goes on…car runs like shit studders between 1k to 2k…I have new plugs and wires ready to install…Im probably going to pick up a new opti-spark as well…anyone have a datalogger thing to pull the code for me…I think I shorted an o2 sensor or o2 simulator while driving through the puddle…any help would be much appreciated!!! ---

Wouldn’t a bad o2 sensor just cause the car to run more rich as a safety procaution though to not lean out the motor? I’d check ignition parts and make sure they are dry… ---

you soaked the opti. I wouldnt do anything to the car for 24 hrs, most of the time it clears itself out. if not then replace the opti, dont chase any other problem down bc that is what it is. ---

See how it goes Jeff…let it dry out real good and see what happens. I’m not sure I trust those MSD optis just yet either though. If you need some help with it let me know. ---

Im not going to spend $500 on the MSD unit when I can pick up an Accell replacement for $200…Ive read nothing to warrant an extra $300 on the MSD unit other than the timing feature.
