My guess would be water is somehow getting in the ignition system somewhere causing loss of spark to the plugs.

I have water entering and getting to the coils and spark plugs. It seems to be coming from the rear of the hood .We are keeping it covered now and that helps a little . How can I correct this ? It has cost me a small fortune in new coil paks.

Hey David welcome to the forum. You should start your own new thread rather than jumping on one that's 10 years old. Alot of folks here won't bother to open a thread this old
