Check for water at sensor points on the engine, you may well have water sitting on top of the gearbox which won't do the crank sensor much good.How far did you drive it after you went through the 'puddle'? ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

3 to 4 miles the funny thing is all the windows steamed up straight after hitting the puddle and it sounded like the exhaust was blowing . ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

What Stan has suggested is a good shout also It's worth trying the big red button located behind the battery box, if this got damp it could have popped and will have cut your fuel.Another thing I'd look at is down behind the battery box you'll find a double relay, If this has got wet it'll cause you issues. ________________________________________ Ryan |

Ok. In that case I won't be free to lend a hand until friday/next weekend if you needed it. If it is turning over and but not firing it could just be something simple like wet plugs, wet relays or wet sensors as stated above. Are you running an exposed cone? ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |
