RV particulars:Itasca Suncruiser
Driveline (Engine, Transmission):Triton V-10, 4 speed with OD
Miles:7580
Year:2001. Break Down Description: (You can add any description of the problem here that you think would help others in understanding the situation and problem.)
Symptoms:In heavy rain the engine would misfire and the check engine light came on. I pulled over 3 times under bridges and drained the breather element and filter, full of water.
Effect:water ingestion through the air intake Cause:Poorly designed air intake system. Ford TSB (tecnicle service bulletin) Outcome:Took her to the ford delership and they installed a plastic shroud around the air intake opening, no charge. They also checked out the air sensor and said it was OK. My check engine light rests itself after 3 engine cycles. Cold start, reach operation temp, shut down,cool down, do again.
