what would that procedure be? i appreciate your help

im on my way to get new oil and some new spark plugs. when i removed my intake the filter was pretty soaked however when i removed the tube there was slight moisture but nothing that seemed too crazy of water.

how would i go about manually cranking the car with one spark plug out?

 

You need to remove the ENTIRE INTAKE MANIFOLD and make sure everything is dry. I guarantee there is going to be water on top of the pistons.

When I say manually crank I mean take the spark plugs out and turn the key only enough to turn the motor and push the water out. You will smell fuel while you do this. If the engine shreaks or knocks it's toasted.

 

So far I've changed the oil

Taken out the spark plugs on driver side.

When I removed the first spark plug on the passenger side the plug closest to the firewall was wet inside def had water I'm there, what I can see that's the only one so
Far.

Should I let the car
Sit
To
Dry or how can I dry it?

 

Turned the motor with all plugs out and sure enough water came shooting out

 

That is how you dry it out according to the link that was provided by one of the contributors. Also, if you want to keep that intake, I suggest you get something like the item below to prevent another potential catastrophe during the rainy season.

^^ That product won't do squat if your filter is submerged completely under water unless it has the ability to magically convert water in to air.

 

Installed everything back on, still not starting but it sounds like it wants to start more then before.

Suggestions? I used the same
Plugs that were on there just cleaned and dried them, guessing I'm gonna buy some new ones at this point

 

True. But it could at the very least lessen the damage. Could be the difference between a destroyed engine, and one that just needs to be purged.

 

As long as you don't hear any dangerous grinding or clanking sounds, you should keep turning it over or let it dry out for a few hours more before trying again. And repeat until either you get some life out of it, or it dies.

 

the biggest risk of cold air intakes. good luck. hope you dont need a new engine.

 

invest good sir. just make sure you get the correct diameter

you seem relatively handy so im not gunna make an AEM bypass valve meme to rag on you lol, i was so close.

 

when i turn the motor nothing sounds like its grinding or making a bad noise. it was still spitting some mist out when i turned it the last few times.

i turned it until the mist was very minimal or almost nothing and have a fan blowing the engine right now. im going to run out for a bit, grab some new spark plugs and give it another shot in a couple hours, so far the engine doesnt sound bad so i guess thats a good thing.

wish me luck and thank you thus far for everyone whom has helped. ive decided im either gonna get a short ram intake or just find a stock one and put that back on. a CAI isnt worth this hastle

 

good luck man, this is my worst nightmare

 

Once you get the new plugs on you should be good to go. When you start the car it will sputter a bit and you may notice steam from the exhaust. Let it idle but don't rev the motor.

 

this is exactly what happened when i turned my engine with spark plugs out. hoping everything will turn out ok
