Lost spark after heavy rain
Hello,
So this JackAss (that being me) was driving through a downpoor and killed it with the clutch and couldn't get it to restart. Tried to start it and could not get it to fire so I tried using starting fluid with no luck I'm getting it started so I'm assuming I lost all Spark any ideas of why I lost Spark any help would be great thanks
sorry guys it's a 1998 Ford F150 with a 4.2 L
manual tranny

only by doing so sticking a screwdriver in the end of plug wire holding it against of close to metal. I do not have a spark tester or trouble code reader im going to rent one tomorrow to see what codes are present I had taken the battery out to re charge last nite so whatever codes are showing now should directly be linked to this issue correct?

Check your fuses and see if the fuel pump one is working, If by chance the fuel pump has never been changed I have seen new ones go bad. See if you can hear the pump come on with just the key turned on for 2-3 seconds. When was the last time you changed the fuel filter? Have seen those so bad the truck would not run. (Loved the lady's comment: I thought those didn't need changing as it is just a filter. The truck was 8 years old.)
Just changed a fuel pump in an F150 3 times because of the pump, float, and too much pressure and the funny part was they were all new out of the box. (Pressure was over 100 PSI at the rail. Would have been a very good diesel pump with that kind of PSI. Surprised the heck out of me with that kind of pressure.)

Start with checking the inertia switch. After that, it gets harder and requires actual diagnostic work.
