hey guys i was drivin home when i was idling threw a puddle, and then it happend the car starting it again,, i justalled.. i didnt try st pushed it to a parkin spot and am lettin it sit over night. u guys think the car is fucked?? would warrenty cover this? HELP ME PLEASE... and yes i know i am ****** retard dumb **** from driving through a puddle.. and by the way the puddle was up to the doors and it looked alot more shallow at the time..

 

k sorry for the horrilbe spelling.. this is what happend i was idleing throgh a puddle and the car stalled.. didnt try starting it again, lettin it sit and hope for best.. what u think my chances are of my car notin be f^cked? and would warrenty cover this if they sold me the car with the cai?

 

no warranty will not cover ur car...when this happened to my friend, all we did was just ook put the spark plugs and cranked it for like 1 second, it threw the water out, and his car started. Right after, just change your oil too. I dunno if this helps, but it has worked numerous times for a couple of my frineds.

 

should i try startin it 2night??>? or should i let it sit till 2mmorow?? the reason i am under wpg prelude name is because i am at freinds house... PLEASE HELP ME HONDA TECH

 

just try it tonight, just remember dont crank ur car too long or too much. i know that this is the most amateur way, but this way has helped many times. also dont forget to change ur oil.

 

Remove the spark plugs and crank the engine a couple quick times to get any standing water out if there is any. Use a flash light to take a peek inside the cylinders. If it looks dry get some new plugs and replace them and try to start it.
Check the oil dipstick to see if there is anything funky in there.

You did the right thing by not re-starting it and pulling over. My wife didn't and blew 3 holes in my block.

After you get it home change your oil just in case. IF you have AAA it may be a good idea to tow it home before doing anything, just in case. Good luck!

 

CHANGE THE OIL

 

hears the deal,. i am the 1 who originaly hyrdo locked the teg, i took out the spark plugs cranked it 3 times.. water came out of cylinders, but i took the wires off the distributor.. i cleaned up plugs put em back in, but car wont start.. help

 

new plugs maybe?

 

Just for future reference... water up to doors=small river

puddle=little pool of water you drive over not through.

 

Damn... funny thing is im in wpg too and I hydrolocked my GS-R last month ... put a hole through the block...o well...type r swap coming within the next week or 2 ... btw do you know some kid named josh with a silver prelude? he told me his buddy got a pearl white gs-r...was wonderin if it was u?

 

just get a short ram next time you dont have to worry about hydrolocked, used to have cai on gsr but changed it to short ram dont wanna take the risk

I can't agree more, after practically putting a hole in my CAI Air Filter I just went short ram,

sorry to hear about your current problem though

 

the gains of short ram and CAI re minimal too so u shouldnt worry bout losing much power.

 

I was idling when I sucked up water and my car died. I had it towed home and did the following:

1. Drain oil
2. Remove fuel injection main relay which is near your fuses
3. Remove spark plugs
4. Detach intake and drain any water that may be in throttle body and/or intake
5. Crank motor and let all of the water shoot out. (do this bystarting the car like you normally would.)
6. Let it sit out for an hour or so and dry
7. Put in new spark plugs and oil
8. Put fuel injection relay back in
9. Start car and let idle for 20 minutes

It took a few tries for mine to kick over but it eventually did.

 

this is why i have never and will never run a cai

 

Hey, i know the guy with the silver lude, josh and i know this guy with the hydrolocked teg lol

 

Comptech icebox

 

and 2001TypeR...i know u ...lol im still in gr11 at garden city collegiate

 

how much hp does the comptech ice box is it the best intake in the market, how does it compare to short rame aem

 

do a search...there are plenty of topics...there was even a site that did a full dyno on several intakes, and the comptech came up on top throughout midrange by a considerable amount, whereas other intakes came above in really low end and top end....but only by a little bit.

 

man wpg-prelude that sux
the same thing happend to my freind in aug. and its sounds just like it
but anyways he went and had basic coverage and they covered it b/c its like a natural disaster or what not
his was declared totalled tho and he got the money from insurance and bought the car back then he wrecked it like a month ago and now it has a salvaged title
probley not to much help tho but still thought u might wanna know some ish&lt;98stocklude&gt; is his name
hope it works out man

 

If it is a newer car still under warrenty ... if you put the stock intake system back on it .... and the car just happened to stall out one day and you dont know why ... wouldnt warrent cover that scenario if there was a bent rod ?


I think they would have to PROVE you did something in order for them not to warrenty it. Not just say you did such and such.
