sucked water through the intake about 3 weeks ago, i havent driven it but its still runnin like ****, idles at 700 rpms and bogs down when you try to drive it till you get into higher gear. i put brand new spark plugs in and changed the oil, and i have been just lettin the car run, i checked the plugs last night and they are black as ****, also my check engine light is on

 

Pull the code then post back and we can try and help you. If you hydrolocked it it wouldent be running at all depending on how extensive the damage is. Pull that code! Also a little bit of water wouldent cause a hydrolock. do you have a cold air intake or stock intake box ?

 

i have a one piece cold air intake , and how do i get the code

 

what year is your lude?

On a 5th gen its on the passenger side footwell underneath the radio there is a pull-away peice of carpet. You will find a 2 pin BLUE connector there that you can jump with wire or paperclip.

sorry to hear that. i hydrolocked my first lude (i had a cai) and i had to replace my whole motor.

 

If it's a fourth gen....it should be the same thing, just on the driver's side and behind the radio - i used wire, i also used a paperclip before....both should work....get that code!!!

 

its a 93 prelude

 

then ya its behind the radio...and its the second plug in from the drivers side..just pull it out and put like someone said above, a paperclip or a wire(any)...stick it in both sides turn ur car one..a short blink of the engine light is single digit code and long are double digit codes...search it to get a better understanding of what im talking about.. good luck
