So i was driving my car last night and i came to a flooded strip of road only like 10 feet long, well i didnt realize how deep it was and i drove through it, my car shut off and it would start back up, everytime i would turn the ignition a horrible clicking sound happened.. i do have the V2 cold air and i know it probably sucked the water up through there..if anyone knows "if" there is a way to fix it so it will run again i would greatly appreciate the feedback, im in a shit situation. thanks

 

time to rip apart the block and replace some shit

 

yeah.... your fucked!!! let me know if you want to get rid of it. If you did suck up some water you are going to have to replace alot of shit.

 

Could be Robs, Or main/piston bearings. Best bet if a rebuild or replace the motor.

 

it depends on how fast you were going. I went through a 2.5 foot puddle in my civic... luckily i saw it and let off the throdle, but didnt have enough time to shut the car off. I just bent a valve... the second time i went through a puddle i was going 45, and it bent a rod in the 1st cylinder. theres a chance you might have not bent a rod, but its slim. I would start looking for a new engine if I were you.

and the lesson for today? cold air intakes without the bypass are signing your engine's death warrant.

 

even with the bypass i got fucked, then again my car was floating

 

what happend to the car sponger..?

 

dude if the water comes up to the bypass then its worthless anyways lol...

 

hahahah
