I hate my town!! it floods so easily...i basically drove thru a river this morning going to school....after i drove thru the water the car started jerking back and forth like i was riding a bull...so i turn my hazards on and get in the right lane...and it kinda starts running smooth so i pull into school and park it...i rev it up and it wont go past 4 grand...sounded like the supercharger was dieing..i let it sit for 5 hours or so and this is what it sounds like

what sound is missing or barely there

 

if i went to your school and saw you revving your car in the parking lot id laugh

but seriously that sucks....modify your CAI to a SRI next time?

 

or maybe do not drive in deep water

 

hydro shield ?

 

lol...i was just seeing if it would rev up...sounded like i had a 2 step hahaha

 

why does bad **** always happen to your car??

I think when I first joined this site, it had some sort of huge problem, right?

**** dude that **** is weak

 

He cant modify his CAI to a SRI he drives an SS/SC

 

i had to go thru it...it wasnt really deep but deep enough to splash water up....and traffic was behind me so there was no stopping and turning around

 

explain why he cant? you can do anything if you have enough time and money.

 

i wouldn't push it like that if it's giving you grief. you never know what other problems it could add.

 

that sucks man

 

this happened to my car earlier this summer and i just let it sit for almost two days and it was fine after that.

 

i guess ill let it sit for a day and clean the filter

 

The MAF would not be in the same place which in turn would throw a code. Not too mention space. Look at a SS/SC engine bay and tell me where he could put a SRI.

 

best thing to do is get it scanned and find out what the code is. pull your maf out and clean it, change the plugs and it wouldnt hurt to change the oil.

 

where can you buy a hydro shield at. That sounds actually pretty good.

 

yeah definatly change the oil

when our town flooded..everyone was recomended to change the oil..apparantly water can get in the oil..and make things go bad
and ge tthe CEL checked out.

 

Hydro shield wouldnt help him in this situation.
He said he drove thru the water.
Hydro shield only helps with small splashes.
I did the same thing last spring and thought I hydrolocked my motor..
I lucked out. I only busted the starter from trying to start it while water was in the engine..

 

i would put the stock airbox back on and if your under warranty take it in to get it fixed

 

Yeah! Warranty fraud ftw!!! /sarcasm



Change the plugs, change the oil, clean the MAF and SCIP sensors (many people overlook the SCIP, causes just as many problems as a dirty MAF). Get the code scanned and go from there. Good luck.

A tip when driving through deep water/puddles: Do NOT rev the car up more than you have to!! I drove through water up to my door with my SC a few times this summer, granted it was only for about 5-10 seconds but still. I gave it as little gas as possible and creeped through it. The engine won't suck up that much water unless you are giving it a LOT of gas or basically submerge the filter and floor it.

edit: just watched the video. Stop revving the **** out of your damn car! Jesus christ... I cringed watching that.

I can almost guarantee it's some sort of sensor that's shorted out from water. Get that code scanned ASAP and fix accordingly. I can hear the motor running fine, it doesn't sound like it's knocking or anything abnormal. Sounds like a computer issue to me. Computers + water= mega fail!

 

yeah x2^ just check everything, cant be much or maybe im wrong lol

 

Then again I can't really make out too much from that video. I'm still going with a sensor. A compression test wouldn't hurt, either.

 

same thing happen to me i took out the tire and checked the filter it wasnt soaked but it was wet i grabed a vacum and tried to dry it that way and i waited a bit till i was 100% sure it was dry but the car still felt bit wierd but after a few hours the check engine light went oway lol

 

AEM bypass valve would have been your best friend...

 

How does that work?
