If you have water on your spark plugs you have a serious problem. That is coolant you see and not water. You have a blown head gasket or cracked head. This engine will self destruct if you continue to drive it. Have this repaired ASAP and stop driving it until you do.

Why would your spark plugs get wet and car stall?

"Wet" Spark PlugsThe cause of "wet" spark plugs, ignition wiring, and engine stalling depends on what you mean by wet.Your use of the terms wet AND stall suggest that you mean water on the outside of the plugs and on the spark plug wires.If you are talking about external wetness with water, then the cause is usually one of two things:Water from a wet roadway has splashed "up" into the engine compartment and caused the plugs and ignition wiring to be wet, orA combination of temperature and humidity in the atmosphere has resulted in condensation of water vapor on the plugs and wires.In either case, the result is misfiring, rough running, and in the worst case scenario, even stalling.IF on the other hand, by wet you mean liquid fouling of the spark plug terminals inside the engine, this is usually caused by one of two other things:Too much fuel getting to the cylinders, orCrankcase oil leaking into the cylinders, caused by worn or broken piston oil rings.

What is a fouled spark plug?

Fouling spark plugs can happen when the tip temperature is insufficient to burn off carbon, fuel, oil or other deposits and causes spark to leach to metal shell...no spark across plug gap will cause a misfire. Wet-fouled spark plugs must be changed as they won't fire. Dry-fouled spark plugs can sometimes be successfully cleaned by bringing the engine up to the operating temp.

Why are your 2004 Dodge Durango spark plugs getting wet during rain?

Poor water on your windshield and follow the path of where the water ends up. Open your hood and look further down below your wind shield wiper. You will see where a water puddle has developed. This puddle of water drips slowly on top of the engine and on to the spark plugs. You could plug the drip with tape
