HELP Guys and Girls

[stopsign]

If anyone can help me out here, it would be very helpful. I was driving home tonight after a heavy downpour, and my truck died. I was going at like 25 mph and the tach went crazy. It climbed up to 5000 and bounced around, and the truck just died. It now won't start, and if anyone has any ideas as to how I could fix this, It would be HIGHLY appreciated. thanks guys

SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IN THE PROCESSOR WENT HAYWIRE IF THE TACH WAS BOUNCING. WERE THE RPM'S BOUNCING ALSO? MAYBE YOUR IGNITION BOX TOOK A DUMP. DID YOU CHECK FOR SPARK?

Heavy Downpour and it died? I'd say check your cap & rotor to see if they got wet. Maybe the cap is cracked and water got in there? Yank it off and if it's wet, dry it out real good and see what happens.

Stopsign,

I am sorry to say but I dont think anyone in the DelVaLO can give you a 100% correct answer. The best thing you can do it Go to the Gen1 Sections. I know I read of someone with the same problem that you were having. Post this same post there and you will find out whats up with truck.

Good luck

i to would check the cap and rotor and what ever other ignition components you could, thats the most common problem with water induced engine shutting of, later rich, let us know how you make out
