Default hesitation/dies

Hey HT, so the last few weeks it's been raining/snowing on and off here in Toronto, and just the last few days the GF's had to use our winter truck.. I haven't driven my car in the snow obviously, but I've driver it a few times while the ground has been wet - no slush though.

My problem is, the car starts to die with hesitation and then completely slugs along after about 20mins of driving. I shut the car off for 20-30mins and continue to drive because she gets some life back..

Now I'm thinking it's the plug's have been flooded from it being lowered and the water/rain on the floor?

I've picked up some NGK plugs and wires but have yet to install because I woke up this morning, and she ran fine.. for about 20mins then back to hesitation.

Has this happened to anyone? Is it flooded plugs?

Pull a spark plug lead and see if it is wet or if there is moisture down the spark plug tube.

Sounds more like a fuel pressure issue, I would check fuel pressure, [when engine is bogging].
The PGM-FI Main Relay can be effected by temperature, [cold solder connections] as can the fuel pump itself.

Another problem may be moisture in the gas tank, some Methyl Hydrate and a full tank of gas will normaly fix that problem, and no, do not buy those small bottles of gas line antifreeze, go to CAN TIRE and get the jug of MH.

Also, MM&Y of car would help.94

Ye I was also thinking something with the relay.
Unfortunatly I'm in police college atm and can't check the plugs until it's dark.

thanks for the input though!
