i was just driving home from work, and it had been raining for like 5 hours and was still raining.i have an aem cai. i dried the filter before i left work, and never went above 3k all the way home. at one point the car out of nowhere just did this weird thing(it felt like i slammed the brakes and skidded in the rain,but i never touched the brakes). then it was normal again,the engine did not stall. was that like a "almost hydrolock", i hope my engine is gunna be ok,it seemed fine, and when i got home i checked the filter it was completly wet and there was water sitting in the bumper splashguard below it. by the way i never went through any puddles more than like 3 inches deep.
do any of you know what might of happened,i really hope my engine wasn't harmed at all.

ps:any one wana buy a aem cai?

 

sounds like hydrolock to me.. :/

if it's still idling ok.. smooth and all.. i wouldn't worry too much. just pay attention to how it responds over the next couple of days. if it feels ok, it probably is.

 

god i hope she's ok

 

Might wanna change your oil or something. Damn near everyone's hydrolocking these days.

 

what does that do?
i just changed it 2 days ago too.

 

changing the oil will tell you if water got in there somehow....hey, its $10 and 30mins of ur time for peace of mind.

if the car is running fine now, i would just leave it like that. if you did any more damage...youll know.

might want to see how your plugs are doing also.

 

well,i drove my car today, and i did not notice any thing unnormal.
do you guys think i should be good or should i check anything, cuz i've never had to deal with water getting into my engine before-so i don't know what to do.

 

check the spark plugs...take off your filter and dry it out and reoil it.

 

i finally drove my car like i normally do today, and something weird happened, my car is now faster. i thought that i hydrolocked, but now my car is faser(like 20% faster too very big difference). i am confused.

 

WEIRD THAT YOUR CAR IS FASTER.... IVE BEEN THROUGH A MOTOR FROM HYDROLOCK... IF YOUR CAR IS RUNNING ITS FINE.. ID RECCOMEND TAKING THAT INTAKE OFF OR PUTTING A BLOCKER ON IT... PERSONALLY ID TAKE THE INTAKE OFF AND PUT A SHORT RAM ON, IT ONLY TAKES ONE TIME TO LEARN YOUR LESSON WHEN YOU BLOW A MOTOR.
