Problem number 1: So I've been having some problems with water getting into my car on the passenger side. In the past I've noticed my floor mat being damp as well as the floor underneath the passenger seat. It's been raining pretty heavily for two days now, and this morning there was a layer of water on the passenger side (front to back). My car made it to work just fine (with the exception of the CD player not working until I pulled into the parking lot at work. Argh!). When I got out of work this afternoon the puddle had increased in size.
I have a sunroof, which I originally thought was the culprit. I tested the drain and it's not the problem. I also poured water down the vents by the wipers, but that drained normally as well. I did not check the back of the wheel well because that would require taking off the plastic, and it's too wet outside for that right now.
Problem number 2: On occasion my car (automatic) will stall at stoplights, but will start up fine and it won't happen again for months. I say on occasion, but in the past two years it's maybe done it three times. Today it stalled while I was slowing down to a stop (heading down a hill). The check engine light came one (but I believe all lights come on when the engine powers off but the car is still on). I started it up and it ran fine for the rest of the ride home (no check engine light). While I was turning down the road I live off of, my engine stalled again. All lights came on, but once started the CEL did not stay on. This time it was creepy because of course my power steering no longer worked and my car did not turn! Thankfully no one was waiting at the stop sign or we would have had some real problems. This time it was strange to me because in the past these sporadic stalls were while idling at lights.
Problem number 3: My husband was kind enough to use his code reader and we got a P0031 and P0037. The CEL is not on.
Could the water in the car, intermittent stalling, and the codes be connected, or is it just s*** luck?
Thanks.
