Hi i'm hoping someone can help with my diagnosis on wifes Fabia w reg 1.4 MPI. Its losing throttle in the wet and cutting out with the dash warning lights coming on. It will restart but wont accelarate. It seems to be only in heavy rain. This is from cold as soon as she gets in and starts driving. Also door electrics are playing up with not locking properly there seems to be an issue with them. I know these cars have loom issues but no fuses are blown.

I will check the coil and leads and see if any water is coming in to the bulkhead tonight, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem. Just replaced the 'thrust' sensor on inlet manifold which made an improvement to driving the car but the cutting out issue is still there.

Any ideas on what else to check please would be great. Not sure if it could be coils or what but the i think only doing it in the wet is a good clue so may need waterproofing!

thanks in advance.
