My EP3 suffers badly with standing water on the road.
It used to be that if I drove through a big puddle (very vary slowly) the car would stutter for about 20 seconds after. Then all was good.
Today while driving there was a thunder storm and loads of sudden rain. There wasn't any big puddles this time but lots of water on the road and gradually while driving very slowly (because of the car in front) the car was loosing power to the point I had my foot to the floor and it was still slowing down. Then full power, then no power, then full power, ...........
Any advice on where I should start trying to solve the problem. I don't think the water would be splashing high enough up the engine to cover the plugs, however it is a possibility. I have standard air intake so nice and high in the engine.
So any advice? (Please don't say, don't drive in the wet)
