Hmm not good - water is shorting out something. I'd be looking for something that is exsposed. As normally you can just about sink a vn and it will keep going!!

I think you could get a jug of water and see if you can replicate going through water while the car is running.

yeah ithought that already samuels but it doesnt quite fit. it wouldnt cause the smoke and the stentch of melting wire. i noticed one of my coils is cracked, im thinking maybe water getting in there, that would explain cut out, and the stentch maybe a spark plug over loading and the lead melting but then does that mean it would have greyish smoke

Hmmm ,did i see on the news not so long ago VIC got floods? was that in your area...maybe water is just reaching coil pack or splashing up onto it,or you may even have a bad earthing or circuit,if you have greyish smoke,because when water hits something electrical in engine bay it's a white smoke isn't it,that usually puffs up
