1998 Frontier Misfires After Rain |
|
|
After a fair rain or dizzle my 2.4l 4x4 is missing on throttle rpm range
approx. 1500 to 3000 rpm.
After about five minutes all is ok.
ECC reports no problems.
TIA,
Charles

sounds to me like moisture buildup in the distributor cap, normally this
wouldnt be much of a problem but it may indicate that your distributor cap
and rotor need replaced. could be something else but id try the cap and
rotor first.

Something is getting wet. Maybe time for new Secondary wiring.

My 90 Hardbody did the same thing. New distributor cap fixed it.

Fixed.
Soaked then cleaned spark plug wells of carbonized motor oil residue with
fuel additive, keeping all foriegn materials from combustion chamber.
Washed spark plug wires, distributor cap with soapy water; rinsed with
distilled water; dried in open oven at 170 F.
Cleaned and reseated distibutor seal and coated with silicone dielectric
grease.
