the other day i was driving home down the highway through some construction and it was raining like hell. Anyways long story short i tryed to dodge a huge puddle becouse of my cold air intake and i sucked up a tube full of water. There is water all in my motor and i am pretty mych screwed. I got it home and took out all the plugs and cranked it over and shot out all the water but it still wont do anything. JUst thought i would let you all know. Hopefully i can get a loan and get a new motor put in or figure out something any sugestions on what i should do--other that fix it i am going to do that-- but i know that i do have some options

:cry:

 

did you have a bypass valve?

 

no bypass valve i got the intake before they offered that.

A little more info i dont think i threw a rod the car is not leaking anything when i went around the puddle i pushed in the clutch and just coasted around it and then when i went to let out the clutch and give it gas is when it locked up and died i instantly pushed the clutch back in and tryed to start it but nothing

 

that sucks man I wouldn't have gotten an aem cai without a bipass valve, especially if i lived in a town called stillwater.

 

thanks man

 

do an oil change and see if you have alot of water in the oil.

 

wow man that sucks . . do you guys think those by pass valves really do the trick? if you read my other post i'm looking at a CAI. . but now i dont know - my roommate has a 95 lude with a CAI headers exhaust high flow cat etc and its actually backfired on him 3 times when it has been raining - is that just him getting lucky? it still runs fine but if he mashes the gas when it rains it'll backfire on him .. i told him to get a BPV but he doesn't like the idea of it. .

 

Preludes don't have more then one header...

 

hehe technicality typo sorry - he has a dc sports headeR

 

hmm how deep was the puddle? I thought CAI wont hydrolock ur engine unless the whole filter is submerged.. and the filter is around ur signal lights.. was the puddle that deep?
