Check Your Intakes!

My car has been running rough lately, and I couldnt figure out why. Now I know. I had water leaking in thru the engine bay, onto the piping of the intake, and when the water made it to the filter, it got sucked right in. Its not like driving into a huge puddle or anything, but, it will make your car run like ****, and can even mess up your MAF Sensor.





I tried to show where I am talking about by taking pictures w/ my camera phone. I shoved a towel around the opening temporarily until I figure out a way to fix it. We have been getting rain for the last 3-4 days and i couldnt figure out what the problem was. Well it rained this morning, and I went and felt the towel, and it was soaked.

Just givin you guys w/ Cold air intakes a heads up
