Hydrolocked 00 Civic EX Throwing P0131
Hi there guys & gals. I have a 00 Civic EX with a cold air intake.
I was driving today. Came to a stop light. Light turned green and I was taking a turn. Little did I know the puddle I had gone through was deep. When I was approaching the turn I believe I was at 1500-2000 RPM's until the engine had choked from the water it had just sucked up.
The engine had shut off. I did try to crank it like 5 times till the battery gave out. I had the car towed to my place in which I took the plugs out and took out the water by taking all the plugs out and unhooking the distributor connector and cranking it. I then reassembled everything. I then kept cranking until it fired up. It ran a bit rough and looked like the steam was exiting the exhaust pipe for about 5 mins. I let the car burn off the water remaining in the cylinders.
The car runs just like normal except now I have a check engine light for the O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1. I imagine because the water going through the pipe probably shorted out the sensor but just wanted to get an idea if I should be looking at anything else. I'm gonna be changing the sensor tomorrow. Just want to know if there is anything I should check.
Thanks

sorry this isn't gonna help you now.. but i just want to say this:
unless your car is a track/race car that is only driven on nice sunny days, don't put a CAI on it. there's really no point for a DD. especially considering the warm air is better for fuel economy
your CAI didn't give you any more HP

Im aware that the cold air intake doesnt do much for a stock engine with no other mods on it, i was given the intake which was an aem. i figured it be nice. i plan on putting the stock airbox on since gas mileage has also taken a hit from this. But thanks for the info.
ill be changing the oil tomorrow and spark plugs, i do realize that it probably wasn't a good idea to keep cranking it since i could have caused more damage. luckily everything seems to be running as usual minus the o2 sensor. i have a code reader in which iv'e cleared the code at least 5 times in which it comes back after 5 mins. its the only code ive been getting.
