this Vue was towed in yesterday..
crank, no start..

thought it might have flooded, pulled the plugs in the front bank.. sopping wet with fuel..
cranked the engine to blow the fuel out, engine starts!
put the plugs back in..
cranked it.. no start..
pulled the front plugs again.. fired right up
put the plugs back in, put a backpressure gauge in the front O2 hole.. 10 psi..

ok, where's it plugged at..

rap a fist on the cat.. sounds ok..

muffler.. ?????
that didn't sound right at all..

could she have back into a snowbank and packed it full of ice?
Took a heat gun and warmed the muffler, water started streaming out of the condensate drain..

20 minutes later were were able to start it.. and then this..

That's funny.. the question is how many time did they back into the snow bank before the car would not run anymore?????
