Hood Scoop Water Injection
 
Yes it rains a lot on the coast and I've been driving my Trans Am with the open shaker hood scoop these last couple of weeks in the downpouring rain.

I've been noticing a bogging and stuttering missfire at WOT when on the highway particularly at revs above 3500. Very annoying and embarrassing when blowing by the competition.
I couldn't figure it out since all the plugs and electrical are new and worried it was carburation........

......until I took off the air cleaner to inspect and found it half full of water. :roll:

Seems it does not like water injection. :lol:

Back to driving the Jeep until the rain dies down to a drizzle, or I'll have to make up a block off plate. ;) Another project.... :D

By the looks of the weather forcast for our area, you better put some floatation on the jeep. :lol:

Anyone know how well Bonnies float?
