Ok...as the title reads, i was driving and hit an unexpected big...HUGE puddle of water. Anyway, car bogges out and dies. I wait about 10 minutes and start it up agian and it trys to die so i gas it, and keep gasing it hoping it gets the water out. It runs fine now so im assuming everything is ok...should i check for anything or just let the filter dry up?

 

a little water shouldn't hurt anything. i think if something was wrong, you'd already know. im not sure what test to do to check health, maybe compression test?

 

Usually if the car bogs out and dies your damaging valves etc.. i'd check it out

 

It did that at first, but i just let it sit and kept reving up the engine, and now it idles find and no more bogging.

 

This is exactly the reason I got a short ram intake. Sorry to hear about that. It sounds like you lucked out, i've heard some real horror stories about CAIs.

I'm not trying to CAIs are bad, it's just that I've heard to many of these similar issues on sucking up water into the CAI.

 

You should be fine. If it was running crappy then I'd check it out.

 

Ive had no issues with my Comptech' The design of it makes it very difficult for water to make it all the way up to the TB.

 

:werd: same exact thing happend to me.. i didnt really get it checked out since it ran the same like it did before.. its been couple months since mine happend.. stupid storm in texas huh?

 

didn't want to get a by pass valve? wonder if they really work though. but anyways that sucks, but yea it seems to me like you really did luck out, more than likely everything will be fine, but if you're dead serious about your motor you can pop open the valve cover and check the valves, and i'd take the opportunity to change out your oil, and just give it a good tune up, so that everything will just be fresh and good to go. i got the pleasure to live in cali so don't really see much horrible rain.

 

Yeah, cahnge the oil, clean and re oil the filter element and try to be more careful
