ohh my gosh!
Today while driving in the rain I noticed my car was acting funny...no power...I pulled over and it almost died...I check my cold air intake (took it off) and wtf water comes out...I left it off and drove it home...It seemed fine but I didnt want to gun it since I had no filter for about 1000 yards...could my motor be good still or is this the end? I hear about motors hydro locking is that when it wont turn over (please explain)...I also read that people change their spark plugs and their motors are fine...any help at all would be great!!!!! thanks in advance

if i were you i would take the plugs out and unplug the dizzy and crank the motor over a few times... this will get any water out of the cylinders... then do an oil change... if you made it home and it was still running you should be ok

When you hydro-lock itll happen instantly and youll notice. i think u stopped just in time, cause if it was acting funny u mightve had water in the filter and werent getting any air to the motor.

I did this in my pick up it works, esp. after washing my motor. But the problem with honda's are the plugs are directly on top, and the sleeves where the plugs insert too; wont water be just going back down to the cylinder? I wonder if you could take all your plugs off, then turn cyl 1 to TDC then use some kind of wet vac figure out how to insert it inside the plug sleeves to get the water, then go turn to cyl 3, then 4 then 2, and so on. what you guys think? too much work? or will it work?
