The accord is dead... sucked up some water and killed it. ****in rain.
Anyways... I guess i have a reason to get an H22 now... just gotta save for it. I'm gonna need all the info I can get on the swap, so feel free to write a book for me!

If the car runs ok, make sure you change the oil ASAP after that.

i know its hydrolocked... trust me, I know motors pretty well... the motor dosent turn at all. I'm probably gonna start tearing it apart once this rain stops... get a better idea of what I wanna do. A swap seems ideal, but is kinda out of my league right now, as I'm not even working at the moment. Probably will end up re-building it... but i'll build it up in the process.... none of that stock shit.

Remove the spark plugs and try cranking the engine to flush out water.
If it begins to crank and die, put everything back and try starting the car have someone hold the throttle cable and keep on revving until you see major white smoke and water pouring from your exhaust.
This happened to my boy while we drove from Atlanta, Ga to Orlando, Fl.
Oh yeah, you gotta change the oil too.
