today on the way to work its raining pretty bad here. puddles everywhere there was a dip pretty deep puddle maybe to the bottom of my head lights SES VDC and SLIP came on car **** down. pushed it out and now its sitting gotta get it towed. i have a cai with the bypass valve to help prevent these things. what freaked me out is after a few i tried to crank it i figured it was a wet MAF it turned twice then the was a kind of a pop/backfire and nothing. my hks has never backfired before so i dont think that was it.

wish me luck insurance should cover it less the 500 dollar deductible. whats a VQ35de go for these days?

 

Sucks man, its pooring here also in Blacksburg VA. Gl and hopefully you don't have to get rid of the g.

 

its a monsoooon!

im from radford originally (actually kinda sad to say now that i know its only known for one thing)

 

take the plugs out and try to crank it over. did water get inside the car? See if you can take a breaker bar and a socket and turn the crank manually. Hopefully you didnt bend / break a rod

 

there was no noise of anythig it just gently shut down with the ses lights on my foot was not even on teh gas i was goign pretty slow im hoping that i just got a wet maf or alot of water up my exhaust. it will be gettin towed to the shop in a few

 

time for a rb26!!

 

I had the same thing last yr when we had the mass flood. It turned out it wouldnt go above 2500k-3000k let it dry out that day came out the next morning and it was fine.

 

just put it on the toe truck like 2 gallons of water came out of the exhaust on my way to sign the paper work so they can begin to take her apart.

 

I second that.. and also i would recommend not attempting to start it until you do this... the weather around here sucks im in NVA.. and it took me 2 hours to get to Tysons Corner from lorton..

 

ive accidentally doused my cone filter a few times when washing the G and it sucked up soapy water and did this (misfires, low throttle)

try opening up your CAI and drying all tubes and especially near the Throttle Body and Mass Air Flow Sensor. I bet there is still a lot of water in there.

Edit: just saw Post #8

 

shop thinks it may be savable no woter in teh oil they are in the process of taking off the intake man. and plugs gonna crank out what ever water is in there and go from there. ill know tomorrow weather i will need a new motor or maybe just some sensors.

 

yea this rain is definitely irritating. went to ft meade today for training and it took much longer getting there and back. its ridiculous

 

Ya this Rain SUCKS no way in hell would i drive my car in this... thank god for having other cars

 

in for future updates

 

i thought i was slick and went on a back road that never floods. and it was fine is was the all the way til about 1/4 mile from the end ohh well i think we figured out that i took my foot off the gas and actually water went up the tail pipe. ill know more in the am.
