Stupid question?

[whitecobra98]

I have a translator plus in my GN..a couple years ago the car shut off on me and wouldnt restart...one of the last things i did was pop the cover on the translator and found water inside...i dumped it out and dried it as best i could...it fired up and have been driving it since...are these things totally ruined when water gets inside? ive had some goofy shutoff situations here and there and am wondering if this could be part of the problem...

It's highly possible. Can check w/Bob Bailey, I believe he is the designer of them. Have you checked your maf? While the engine is running, tapthe maf, not hard, if the engine stumbles, It's a good chance the maf is giving up the ghost.

yeah ive done the maf tap

I put my translator behind the glovebox, it stays dry.

Ditto with Roger,
I always thought in the engine compartment was never a good place for the translator. I have had their since the second week I got.
