so earlier i drove through the drive thru at star bucks, little did i know there was a dip in the road with what seemed to be a bit of water which turned out to be more.

when i cross my car stalls, flips out, and shuts off, car woldnt start had to get it towed home. i read it might be the maf? i believe i dried it out now though assuming the maf and sensor

are part of my intake.

when i turn the key you hear a click like it wants to turn on but doesnt. also all the lights and radio work fine, all electricals seem to be working.

anyone have any advice on what to do?

 

Bump

 

What kind of intake do you have?

 

AEM....my air filter goes all the way down to the corner of the bumper driver side

 

do you have that bypass valve thing that the aem intakes have so that if the filter is submerged under water it will just turn into a short ram? does it seem like its hydrolocked?

 

I don't have the adapter that converts it to short ram
And I'm not sure how to tell if it's hydro locked? How would I be able to tell?

All the electronics are working inside the vehicle

 

Electronics have absolutely nothing to due with hydro lock. You hydrocked. Research the term, and you'll have your answer. You won't be happy.

 

Is there anyway to tell for sure if it hydro locked

 

Yes. That's why I said to do a search. Google my friend.

 

that happened to me ONCE. but my car turned back on. & when it stopped raining. i put a short ram intake and took the AEM OFF ASAP! good luck

let it dry. see what happens

 

bump for morning crew, still no luck although now when i turn it on i get like a click noise as well as a winding sound from the engine.

 

There is a simple procedure to get the water out if its hydrolocked.

 

Drain the oil ASAP!! Stop trying to start the car. You run the risk of damaging the internals of the engine more than what may have already been done.

Remove the intake manifold and spark plugs.

Dry everything out

Drain and refill the oil

Replace the Spark Plugs with new.

Manually crank the car with one spark plug out.

Pray

 

 

I tried to tell OP to research, but I figured if he's too lazy to do it for his own car then why should I.....but in the spirit of friday, here ya go!- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock
