duncan hosier:
 recently i was out playin went through a puddle only to die at the other side the engine spins on ignition but wont fire up there is 1 ht lead that doesn't fire at all the other 3 do the engine its self is bone dry no water in the air filters etc BUT i cant seem to smell any petrol around the engine (no floodin smells) any suggestions would be a big help only just started 4x4in so very clueless thanks duncan.

McGuire:
 Electric fuel pump? Where is it?
 

duncan hosier:
the pump still purges if it was broke would it still purge?

McGuire:
 Don't know thw layout of the Sportrack but was wondering, if the pump is electric, and exposed to the elements (as some are) could a sudden blast of water have effected the electrics? Especially as you say there's no sign of petrol in the engine area?

duncan hosier:
im not to sure but i've had the plugs out and there is a gap of about 3-4 mm (prob been in 60000 miles)
i found what looks like a drane pipe on the dizzy maybe the water has made its way up there?
how ever there isn't much of a spark from the remainin plugs so could it be not enough of a spark?
and yes this model is electric fuel pump.
