    Terrential Rain = Misfire?

    The hybrid started misfiring last night on the way home from work and has done the same today. It seems to get worse the harder it rains and it has rained really hard the last couple of days on and off.

    Could water being getting into the plug wells and causing this? If not, what else could cause it?

    Spray WD40 on any plug connectors in and underneath the engine bay as well as the gearbox earth. Or just wait a few days and let them dry out by themselves.
