sup h-t'ers,

it was raining cats and dogs tuesday...decided to turn into a parking lot, mis-judged the driveway and landed the driver side front wheel into a ditch. water was up to the front seats and right under the dash where the fusebox is. motor shut it self off after taking a gulp of water(trace of water in the intake). water was in the ecu and the wipers would stay on when it was in acc position. heard a leaking noise from the fusebox and it was warm.

i took the plugs out, cranked the engine to get water out of cyls.1&2 only. changed the oil, plugs, and tried a different ecu. nothing...it cranks so i know it's not hydrolock. what should i do? could it be the evap canister having moisture in it?
should i change the fusebox(got an extra one from my junk integra)? has any1 else had the same problems? what did you do? tia

(this my bro's sn. his civic should be done soon!)

 

that sucks man, are you getting fuel and spark?

I would also take your dizzy cap off to make sure everything looks good in there..

 

got spark but it seems like no fuel. is there a fuel injector fuse somewhere...i have a 93 cx w/ gsr with complete wiring and dash? thanks

it still cranks even when hydro locks

beat me to it. stop cranking it.

make sure all the water is out.

do a compression test ( yes i know this involves cranking, but stop trying to start the damn car)

 

it didn't seize up...i hand cranked it first. it cranks with just a little stutter.

 

i'll do that tomorrow...thanks guys.

 

no car hydrolocks the same...so just be super careful with it.

good luck
