Default Re: water in fuel

When you drain the fuel, do you let it sit to see if it really water in the fuel? It might be fouled up plugs that are not sparking hot enough to ignite the gas/air mixture but are hot enough to ignite the starting fluid, which is more easily combustible. Another thing is do you know if the timing belt has been replaced at least twice, you are less then 25k miles from need a new one. You need to replace it every 90k miles. This might cause the timing to be off so that the easily combustible starting fluid would ignite but the gas/air would be weak or not ignite at all.
