  • 1987 camaro engine trouble

    hey i was wondering if anybody had this problem before: i was driving in the back roads around my house, i ran over a huge puddle of water, i dunno wha i was thinking. but anyways, right after that, my car stalled. the oil and battery lights came on. then it wouldnt start. me and my dad towed it to my house, but we have no clue whats wrong., the oil level is good, anti freeze, fuses, the works. but we dunno whats wrong...any help?

    That is a bit too vague. Does the starter crank it over or is it totally dead?

    You also might want to create a signature file containing some basic info about your car, like what size motor it has, if it is an automatic or stick nad if it is modified from stock in any way.

      alright, imma work on the info, but yes it does crank, but while it cranks, the temperature light comes on...but theres anti freeze in it already... a guy told me maybe the coil got water on it

        Water on/in the ignition would definatly do that. That being said, using some dielectric grease on each plug wire boot on both the spark plug and distributer ends will help seal out any moisture contamination.

          That would be my guess just based on your information.
