Davis.kk Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hello, i had an emergency today, my fiesta started misfiring and there is coolant in spark plug well, but i really need to drive 90 mile distance today, what do you guys think? Am i going to be able to make it? Care is misfiring like crazy and is shaking when under pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niknakmb Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Is it coolant or rainwater, mine gets rainwater in it after heavy rain. I’m pretty sure it comes in via the bonnet to scuttle seal. I just clean it out and carry on. I have also heard about core plugs leaking so you need to know if it’s coolant or not. I’ve tried many different cures, all of which have failed, my latest is that the seal looks like it sagging in the middle so I cut a length of garden hose and fed it through the seal to plump it up. Only time will tell ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
