how do you know the plug and lead are fine, did you test it was spraking? the ignition coil may have got wet as well

could be worn piston rings or head gasket smileys/smiley5.gif

is it overheating or anything?

i have been told that the rings are on thier way out, head gasket has done less than 1k.
i think i am looking at a new block
