Hi
Just a quick question since i had too much hassle with water and stalling.
when water is coming down the windshield, it all comes through the right side where computer is and it gets wet. On the other side and middle everything is dry?
So, is there something wrong with cowl vent screen, rubber or smth i do not know? in your car, is water taking the same passage?

yes, but when water is coming down, is it supposed to go on top of the computer or it should avoid it somehow? but the other side is dry! so where would water go on the other side? any pics to show flow of water?

Probably coming in from around the cabin air filter box area. You'll have to remove the wipers, and the plastic base around the bottom of the windshield. The filter is right up against the firewall there on passenger side. Remove it and then caulk all around the filter's base & such. I did and it never came in again.
This is a common problem it seems.

This may help. Now is it coming in in buckets, or a good drip?

I think the fix you listed (Nate) was to keep water fro coing inside the cabin, from around the cabi air filter.
He is stating, I think, that the water is hitting the PCM (within the engine bay) when it gets wet outside..

HI
Yes Ray, its from the engine bay. Yesterday i opened it again and i noticed one thing. on the left and on the right for drainage i noticed that there are holes for water. side that gets flooded has only one, but the other has to.
so what i am thinking on doing is drilling one more and maybe blocking the passage to the inside.
