Well early this morning I hydroplaned my EG hatch. there was so much water that it was coming in through my doors. I got it off the exit and everything seemed fine but when I got out to look at the out the was took my rear bumper off and had pulled my side skirts off. But my main problem and question is when I cut my car off it was hard to start back up and when it did start and I gave it some gas it puttered and cut off. I let it sit to some what dry out and when i went to start it started fine and at first drove fine but then after about 30 min it started to putter again like it wasn't getting any gas. Im hoping i just got a little water in the system and not much. What should I look for into all this?

Change the motor oil and change your plugs ASAP.

I know that much! lol I guess im asking is this a big problem or will i be ok since its running fine right now

hondateg10

ok so water could have got into the oil also?

i thought hydroplaning was when you lost traction over a puddle of water at high speeds

yup and could have fouled up the plugs, which would explain the car dying on you. Plus water in the oil sloshing around is never a good thing

hondateg10

yeah it is and thats what happened the road was flooded and when I it the water i went side ways and here we are now

sry let me clear it up a little. it was aobut 1am and it was rainning and i didnt see that the road was flooded

So are you afraid that you hydrolocked or did you hydroplane. Hydroplaning means you hit a puddle in the road and you skid. Hydrolocking requires you to go through enough water that it gets sucked into the engine.

Well if he hydrolocked it, the engine wouldnt run yeah? he said its running fine now...

hondateg10

yes I did go through a large amount of water. but it is still running so i dont think i hydrolocked it. when i drove it to work this morning everything seemed ok. im still gonna check the plugs and oil

Well, do you have CAI on this car? I assuming you did get water into the motor, so pull the plugs and crank the motor. It'll push out some water through the openings. Put in fresh plugs and change the oil. GL!

hondateg10

ok well everything it running fine now. so im gonna jump to another problem i have noticed after i hydroplaned. i guess when i hit the flooded road it knocked my headlights out of adjustment. so can anyone help me readjust the headlights?

hondateg10
