89 Firebird Wet Running problems

Hi Rasmataz: If none of the usual repairs has worked, you may have the same problem I had with a 1985 Pontiac Firebird (V6). It was a SMALL CRACK up under the BOTTOM of the distributer assembly. My car used to stall after water was splashed up under the engine when the wheels ran over even normal puddles. All the usual things did not work like replacing the plugs, wires, distributer cap, etc. We never would have found the answer if a seasoned repairman didn't decide to replace the whole distributer assembly for a different reason, it was old and the cam was so warn he would not set the timing without replacing the whole distributer assembly. It was not easy since the distributer was squeezed way down behind the engine and the firewall. Even the hood had to be taken off. But once the distributer assembly was replaced the wet running problem went away and the car ran great. Gave it to my daughter but eventually we had to sell that old Firebird. Real men do cry at funerals, of people and cars :(

Thanks for the advice. I will look into it.
