Hey everyone, first post...

Unfortunately my first post begins with a potential horrific problem with my car. The subject of the post says it all. I'm stiing here at work mulling over the idea of not being able to take my car in until the earliest Thurs (2 days away from now).

Drove through what I thought was just a little splash of water, but ended up being a puddle big enough to catch my intake. I was going no more than 20 mph, so hopefully we're not looking too severe. Until I have time to get into the shop does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

Is your car running like ****? Smoking at all? Have you checked your oil to see if it's a milky color?

 

I can't even start the car right now, it sounds like it wants to turn over, but just not getting there...

 

That's not a good sign. Hate to say it, but you may have hydrolocked your motor.. which means essentially that your motor is junk.

 

If its hydro you cans till rebuild it cant you??

If its not completely locked up it may be salvagable. Take out your spark plugs and dump a capfull of Automatic Trans Fluid down each cylinder, This may or may not work depending on how bad it is but its worth a shot.
