It depends on if you mean in the cylinder, or just water in the spark plug hole. If the a/c is low on freon, the a/c line will sweat and fill the valley of the valve cover up with water, which in turn overcomes the integrity of the coil pack boot seal and fills the holes up, which jumps fire from the coil conducter spring to the cylinder head and causes a misfire. If the electrode/ground strap has anti-freeze on it, then you have head gasket/severe cooling system issues...

What causes spark plugs to be wet by water?

If you have water on your spark plugs you have a serious problem. That is coolant you see and not water. You have a blown head gasket or cracked head. This engine will self destruct if you continue to drive it. Have this repaired ASAP and stop driving it until you do.


Why does my 1991 miata sputter after engine clean?

I recently degrease my wifes 1990 miata, and had the same trouble. i found that being twin cam . the water had gotten down in to the spark plugs. I first removed the plug leads, then blew out the water with compressed air. then removed the plugs and wiped clean, with a rag down the spark plug holes, then finished with a clean of contact cleaner , then reassembles and yay no more splutter . so spark plugs were shorting cause it was all wet down in there ?


If i change my spark plugs will my water stop get in my cylinder on my 03 dodge grand caravan?

No spark plugs have nothing to do with water in your cylinders. I would guess a bad head gasket, worped head or cracked in the water jacket might be a closer bet. Hope this helps.

Where is the feeze plug on a 94 Pontiac sunbird?

All freeze plugs for engines are below the spark plug side of the engine. They are small round plugs that will pop out if engine freezes in the winter time. This will cause water leaks if they go bad anytime.

How do you un-flood a Jet Ski motor?

Depends on the type of flooding. Hopefully the gas flooded and not the water flooded. If it's flooded by gas try starting it with throttle wide open. If it doesn't work after a while, remove spark plugs and crank engine over for few seconds (remember to watch out for the spark) Install new spark plugs. If the engine is flooded from water, you will have to remove the spark plugs and crank on it for a while till all water comes out. *I have personal experience here* Install spark plugs and attempt to start, if not remove plugs and keep cranking. It may fire for a second or two. Keep removing spark plugs to dry them off and crank some more. Keep this up back and forth for a while, or till engine fires up.


Why would water come out of your spark plugs in a civic?

You have either A blown head gasket, A cracked head or a cracked block, alowing water from your cooling system to enter the chamber. this will result in water also finding its way into the sump ruining the oil . stop the motor and dont run it till it is fixed. The water is coming out of the hole where the spark plugs screw in ? - Then water has gotten into the engine or is getting into the engine while driving in the rain or washing, it is unlikely that the water is actually coming out of the spark plugs themselves.


You washed your 97 ford probe and now the engine is idling really low you think there is water in the engine how do you get it out?

water could have gotten into the spark plug holes. water + spark= no good. Only a few spark plugs could be firing, take them out, and check for water.


Why would your spark plugs get wet and car stall?

"Wet" Spark PlugsThe cause of "wet" spark plugs, ignition wiring, and engine stalling depends on what you mean by wet.Your use of the terms wet AND stall suggest that you mean water on the outside of the plugs and on the spark plug wires.If you are talking about external wetness with water, then the cause is usually one of two things:Water from a wet roadway has splashed "up" into the engine compartment and caused the plugs and ignition wiring to be wet, orA combination of temperature and humidity in the atmosphere has resulted in condensation of water vapor on the plugs and wires.In either case, the result is misfiring, rough running, and in the worst case scenario, even stalling.IF on the other hand, by wet you mean liquid fouling of the spark plug terminals inside the engine, this is usually caused by one of two other things:Too much fuel getting to the cylinders, orCrankcase oil leaking into the cylinders, caused by worn or broken piston oil rings.
