Blend rods, try taking your spark plugs out and crank the motor and see if there water in the cylinder.

your luck it still starts and runs.it could have gotten hydrolocked.thats when water gets sucked into the intake mostly caused by cold air intakes.when it gets hydrolocked the cars motor is gone trashed.

one of my friends was saying to take out the spark plugs and put b12 in the cylinders then let it sit for an hour. Then try to crank it have any of you heard of b12 and i think i will replace my plugs also.

bro take out your plugs and crank the motor before you hydrolock your motor. Its very simple. And it will solve your problem. Make sure to soak up the water with a rag.
