My g/f has a 99 pro es. On a trip out of town, she had a check engine light come on. She took it to a dealer to have it scanned and found a plug and wire issue along with a leaking intake gasket. The plug issue has me puzzled. The wires and plugs were changed a year ago, almost to the day. The problem is with moisture getting into the plug wire boot and shorting the wire and plug. I have never heard of this. I would have thought any moisture would evaporate with the heat of the engine. This is the second time I have had a plug/wire issue. Its only happening on cylinder 2. We havnt had much rain and the engine hasnt had a hose, or pressure washer near it to blow water past the boot. Any ideas what might be causing it? There is no internal water issues at all. Only external moisture.
Any input would be appreciated.
