Help!!

So for some reason my engine takes in water when it rains and I wash the car. I would assume it's getting sucker up by the air filter, but I just put a new wheel well liner in and I can't find any spots where water would get sucker up through the filter.when it takes on water the car will jerk and wants to choke. Is there any other ways water can get into the engine????!?!?

There's always the possibility of your current intake being able to convert to a SRI. I know mine can.

Just having a CAI doesnt mean you will get water.

OP probably has a different issue.

Well when I had a Hahn cai which sits under the passenger light it was always wet to, switched to k&n and now it stays dry. The areas by the fender will always get wet in rain or car wash, just cause it has a little plastic there doesn't mean it's sealed from water

A little water keeps things clean lol.

I cleaned my TB this weekend when I changed the oil. Throttle plate is made of brass because it was all tarnished, white, and green from water lol.
