    ciderdrinker,,i just reread your initial post, is your tuning box connected to the fuel rail sensor wiring? if so give the connections a good looking at, if you have a poor connection you will get poor running and misfiring

    good that you found a split hose , not to costly, the water in the boot is another common issue, take a look at the door seal, run a cup full of water down the seal and watch where it goes, paying particular attention to the joint at the bottom, if its running inside at that point, just cut...
