The first thing i would probabally do is take the rotor cap off and make sure she is nice and dry
Is it missing in a certain rev range or under load??
Are the leads pushed on nice and tight??
Futue te ipsum!!!
cheers i took the rotor cap off and yes it was wet and it was running alot betta when i dried it but it was still missfiring i got reall anoyed so i decided to drive it any way and took it for a 30min drive the first 5 min was shocking i even broke down but then after that it was perfect didnt missfire once so i think the heat finished drying all the water.
cheers also the whole area in the cap was full of water bout 1 hour ago i took to the mechanic a differant one and he said it was normal for it to happen when the car has been washed.
