so i was driving home from work today i have a 2002 civic lx with an injen cai and it was raining out all day and still was drizzling a little on the ride home i made it home pull into my drive way go in side for about 2 minutes come back out start my car and everything turns on for about a half a second then turns off and now the car doesn't start at all when i turn the key in the ignition nothing happens at all the clicker on my keys to lock the car doesn't even work did i hydro lock or did my battery just die?

 

sounds electrical related.

 

i didnt leave my lights on or anything u think the battery would just die at random?

 

yea i agree with lowlife...maybe something got wet that was exposed.

 

batteries do die test it yourself or have it tested at a auto part store they do it for free.start with the battery and go from there.

 

my dad brought it to the shop and he just called me and told me a belt was loose and came out and it cut off all the electricity but is it easy to hydro lock because he also said he can get the intake put in another way where it still works but it wont have the full effect but i wont have to worry about hydro locking i really would rather not do that..what do u guys think

 

well there is a very small probability it could happen if your that worried you could ad some protection with a INJEN hydro shield http://www.injen.com/docs/products/listing.asp?pcc=rp but all you have to do is remove the bottom tube then stick the filter on the top tube basically turning it into a short ram intake.

 

hmm ill look into it and i have an intake and an exhaust on my car would u say its pretty much pointless to do anything else like add headers and ish because its an lx no vtec its not stick so its not gonna get much faster is it

 

thats about rite not really worth the cost headers are basically for show on a stoch 7th gen. upgrading the muffler will make it sound better depending on the brand.
