Right as I'm driving or as I'm looking at the engine?

Its been raining heavy, crossed some water bout 1/2 wheel high, once I got home the truck was still running fine. I let it idle for 2min before I cut it off. When I returned to start it Check Engine light was on and OBD read 45. I checked the wires to both sides and everything is conected, I felt the wire to see if any were damaged all seem fine. What gives?

If the wire was damaged while driving shouldn't it have cut off on me?

 

Everything is always from inside the car facing out the windshield.

Your spark plug wires got wet and caused a the code.
Clear it and see if it comes back.

 

Why didnt i think of that. The spark plug wires it came with dont look like they belong. Are there spark plug wires that will not allow water to affect them?

 

No.
If a spark plug gets wet it will short out, not much you can do about it.
Better plug wires will help, but not getting the plug wires wet will keep it from happening.

 

How can I tell which plug is shorted out?

I may just change them all along with new wires.


Weeeee weeeee more work... :-l

 

Get the 8mm in the color of your choice. And purchase some spacers as well since the 8mms won't fit in the stock routing harnesses.

Great QPR. (quality price ratio)

 

So I can't go in wheel deep water even if I get a mantec snorkle and cover other electrical parts, cause once my sparks get wet I'll have the same issue?

 

These cover the whole plug right?

So if I just replace plugs for now till I get these cables I'll be fine? Could the wires be shorted out to?

Do they have any likes the genuine parts? It has a cover for the coil.

Kingsbourne plug wires come with dielectric grease that helps prevent from shorting them out. You can apply DEG on any connectors you want to make water resistant.
