| My 96 Riv without SC took on water in the tank and I thought I had dealt with that. After I thought I had fixed the problem by draining the tank and replacing the fuel pump and filter it would not start. I drained the tank again and it still would not start but wanted to. I added two cans of dry gas and it fired up and ran but would not settle down. I would have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it going. I added another can of dry gas and it ran better but still I can not get it to idle. It will go from a fast idle to a stall. Starts right back up but will not stay running unless I give it the gas. When I first start it the idle goes high (3500) and then settles down and then stalls. Help. I figure I will have to somehow get all the water out of the tank, but how? Is that what makes the idle erratic? This car ran perfect before the water problem. | |

| How long ago was the car last running correctly? How do you know water is in the tank, and how did it get there? _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| I know water was in the tank because I drained the tank. I went through a rain storm with standing water everywhere and by the time I got home the car just quit. I think I explained this in a previous post. Any answers to my questions? | |

| I have read this thread previously and I think I did all that but it doesn't drain the tank completely. I would like to drain it dry. | |
