okay, a couple of days ago my car started acting funny, not accelerating passed 2,000 RPM... Not starting up nicely. It sputters, it spits, it jumps, however at idle the RPM stays steady at 800-900RPM. The rpms dont jump around much at all. Its getting to the point where its starting to not go passed maybe 1900RPM. we pulled the plug cables and fount water around the top of the 3,4th cylinders! Can anybody tell me what this means, if this could be the problem, and how to fix it. At first I thought it was Fuel Filter being all clogged so i changed that but it did nothing for me. frown.gif HELP!

You might be in big trouble. Best case senerio is what slick said. Worst is somehow you managed to suck water into your engine through your air intake, and maybe hydro locked your engine. Water doesn't compress like air does, so when that happens often times something breaks......like piston rods.....or cylinder walls.....so you might need a new engine. Don't mind my excessive pessimism, this just happed to a friend of mines car right after we spent most of the summer putting a new engine in it...life sucks.....wink.gif
