Default They blew out all drains and there is STILL a bit of water...

Shop blew out (or SAID they blew out) the cowl, evap and sunroof drains. The tech told the service manager that the only drain with anything in it was the sunroof.

When I went to pick up my car this morning, there was a bit of fresh water right in the inside corner of the front passenger footwell -- next to the center console, all the way toward the firewall.

One tech wondered if it might not be a windshield leak... Possible? Having that much water there is a new thing.

Thoughts??

Default is your knock sensor normal now? I am curious as to the effect of replacing

the faulty coil pack on the knock sensor voltage?

Did they absolutely open the cowl drains? Those stupid rubber hoses with the little crosses on them are stubborn little devils. It only takes one little leaf to clog 'em.

I cut the little crosses off the drains located on the sides of the console and pulled the drains out of the wheel wells completely. The only side affect I have had for the past two years is no clogged drains and no wet carpet or feet.
