It's raining like hell here in Seattle and I
unfortunately had to drive the Problematic ('85 Westy)
to work this morning. While it rains frequently here
it doesn't generally rain this hard and the standing
water on the freeway was impressive.
About halfway to work on I-5 I started to notice a
lack of power, could only make about 55 floored and 45
uphill. When I exited the idle still seemed ok -
maybe a little rough - but I had no acceleration.
The van ran great yesterday and I'm assuming (hoping)
that it's the excessive water. I have new ignition
wires, cap and rotor - beyong those items what is the
most likely culprit? Any way to make it less
susceptible to this problem?
Thanks as always,
Curt Newsome
