ok now that the snow is melting the roads are getting wet. I didn't park my car this winter so i have been driving around on a 3" drop. The problem i have is that when i hit a puddle (going very slow over them- no splashing) my car bogs, and seems like it's running on 2 cylinders, it only does it for a short period of time though.

My guess would of been my coils but i donno coz when i go slow over the puddles, my coils are mounted high enough so i didnt think that it would matter. What else could it be? any one know?

check for moisture in the plugs/boots

Moisture can accumulate around the coils (the packs that the spark plug wires connect to) High humidity and/or wet weather will cause a "short", if you will, between the coil's spark and the receiving end of the spark plug wire. Check the wires to make sure they are not cracked or loose. Then pull the spark plug wires off the spark plugs and look for any moisture there. This is one of those things where 99% of the time the cause that I just mentioned is the culprit. Good luck...
