went through water, now problems, help
I have a ramhorn mani so the turbo sits a bit low and just a filter on the turbo, I didnt think I could get much water into the intake until last night. It was raining so hard and I hit a big puddle ang my car started stumbling/dieing, for like 40 feet then stalled. I waited a bit then started it, it took awhile to start and ran like crap, then it started to run fine and I drove it the rest of the way home.
next day: it runs fine but when I get on the throttle or into boost at all it will start to stumble/miss ect. and have NO power. im just happy it didnt hydro lock but whats wrong with it now? water in the charge pipes?? help me out. |
Re: went through water, now problems, help
im sure it may have hydrolocked and you un-hydrolocked it with your starter by starting it up. if a motor sucks up water do not try and restart it. you probably messed something up/bent rod/ blown headgasket

UPDATE:
checked oil, coolent, spark plugs all normal, no signs of headgasket leakage. there was some water in the charge pipes.. so mechanical damage?? how does it run fine then? I didnt think it could run right with a bent rod?? |

pull plugs, disconnect dizzy crank till all water comes out.

Re: went through water, now problems, help
Do a compression check.
It might be running, but something internally may be bent and killing your power - like a bent valve not sealing up. |
Re: went through water, now problems, help
UPDATE:
Runs perfect... stronger than ever, maybe the water cleaned it out haha, thanks for help. |
