Haven't posted to the list for a while.  Something strange happened to my leaker.  Seems that the rain has impacted the 21.5mpg I was getting from it.  It appears to be getting maybe 10mpg right now but I still have power (didn't seem to loose any spark at the plugs).  I did have to go through some rather big puddles Wednesday (live in Southern California).  Never had this happen before and I have gone through some huge puddles in the past.  This is the first time that I actually ended up with water on both sides of the front carpeting.  Not sure where that came from either.  With the manual trans, I checked the carpeting around the shift lever.  Seemed dry.  Gues it came in throuth the vent or something like that.

Question.
Could the water affect the injectors or should I be looking at controller or O2 sensor?
Any other ideas?
