So i go start the car today, damn thing started but it was idling rough and when i gave it gas it bogged down. So I pop the hood and everything is covered in condensation! I also had a very low tank of gas, i dont know if i had water in my fuel lines or what! It did go away though as i started driving it. Just thought id post b/c it kind of got me worried!

So i had this same problem today when i was in the car wash. Half way thru my car wash the car started idling rough as all hell, i pull out and the car was bogging out on me, almost like someone put a banana in my tail pipe haha! Anyways this went on for about 1 mile, with my check engine light flashing and then all of a sudden it went away and i was back to running normal. Any ideas of what is going on?

You might need new spark plug wires. Condensation is making them arc. That's my guess anyway. :)[/b]

Well so much for quality wires i just replaced them maybe 2 months ago when i changed over to my NGK plugs. Looks like i might be taking a trip back to Advance b/c i know they should be under warranty. Thanks for the help guys!
