Default WTF?? Every spark plug tube full of water!!!!!!!!!!! JDM B16A swap

Hey guys,

We'll, I have been working on my teg off and on,

So its been up on stands etc...

It hasnt been started for 1 month.

Its a JDM B16A swap from HMO,

So I just got done putting on a fender, gasket etc...

And see if the car will start, Well, I turn the key and Vroom, she started! first try after a month of sitting,

Its got a real rough idle, sounds like its missin in a cyl or two,

So I let it idle for a min thinking its just warmin up etc.... (I did an oilchange too)

Well I turn it off and start looking around, Make sure ecu getting power check fuses,


So I pull the spark plug wire and WATER!!!!!!!! WTF?? So I pull the next and its the same, each tube is full of water, So I run inside and begin typing this thread,

Well, I'm guessing that it built up while it was sitting for a month.


My question is, Am I screwed? Who do I get the water out?

I'm going to stick paper towls down there for now and see what I can do,

But how Do I get it all out?

thanks, Jose


Edit: Went bak out, its only # 1 and # 2 tubes that have water,

Do I need to change the plugs and wires once I get rid if the water?

Wet/Dry shop vac should do it, atleast it's an idea anyway.

and stuck them down there with a long flat head,
