Well i was on my way to work this morning..and it was pouring like iv never seen before. i couldnt see 5 feet in front of me. all of a sudden i feel my car pull to the right really bad. i figured i just hydroplained. A few seconds later the engine sputters, i hear a "pop" and the car dies.

So it looks like the engine is hydrolocked. I let it sit for about 10 min without touching anything, then i tried to start it. It started, but there is a knocking noise and its sputtering like crazy. Its also blowing pure white smoke out the exhaust.

This all happend not even a mile from my house

What should I do now guys? i guess im going to take the rest of the week off and try and see what to do. Iv heard of engines running fine after hydrolocking, im hoping thats the case. im going to get the car home, pull the plugs and try to get as much water out as possible.

If that doesnt work, im going to rip the head off and see what the damage is.

If there is a lot of damage..i HOPE its the pistons/rods. that way i have an excuse to replace them.

Wish me luck guys...im on the verge of tears over here

That sucks to hear man. Hope everything is alright. Id drain your oil and such and dry out as much as i can and maybe let the car sit out for a while and see if that kinda helps. Its been pouring here in taiwan like a mofo also so yea I know how much it sucks.

Damn. Do you have a CAI or something down at the wheel well? How did something like this happen. This is horrible. I'm gonna do some research and get back to ya.

Yes..the car had a CAI when i bought it. i guess i never really thought anything of it since i drove a turbo car with no filter for so long. i could have went through a river with that thing and not suck up water

Looks like the best thing to do is let it sit

[NAiL05]

Damn CAI. I guess it didnt have one of them bypass valves. Oh well you can just hope for the best now.

crap, i dont even know what to say. i just rode in this beast. let me know if u need anything eric, theres jyards all over here i can go to.

[Accord R33]

Thanks for the support guys....im still in shock about this.

Im hoping that the worst case seneiro is that i end up with somewhat built bottom end. I wont be able to turbo just yet becuase i cant afford it..but at least it will be built for later on.

[AccordWarrior]

I'm so sorry to hear that man.

If you need an extra set of hands I'll come help, and I'm sure I can get Chris to come along with me.

Its still sitting on the side of the road right now...before i said it was a mile away..but it really wasnt anymore than a 1/4 mile away. I walked home...

IM going to let it sit for a few hours and then im going to go over and pull the plugs, crank it, and see what i get. Im hopeing it will have enough in it to get home so i dont have to tow it

So im reading that if you have full converage on a car, insurence will cover a hydrolocked engine.

I need to find a stock intake ASAP...i wonder if the accords will fit?

[ckyskater733]

damn dude that absolutely sucks. lets hope its not that bad and insurance will cover it.

Looks like insurence WILL cover it..but i need to go rip that CAI out and replace it with stock ASAP.

That would be fuckign sick...a brand new b18c1 for $500?
