hydrolock?
 

so i just got home from an extremely bad thunderstorm. raining cats and dogs and hard. anyway....as im driving through the beat up and pitted streets of baltimore.... i remembered my CAI in my fenderwell. as soon as i think about it my car starts jerking from taking water into the intake. i come to a red light and the car cuts off. this is the first time this has ever happened but then i have never been in a rainstorm that bad with a CAI with my HO. does anyone think it was just the engine sucking in water or a bigger issue?

it shouldnt really be hydrolocked

um, engine sucking in water would BE the bigger issue. that WILL ruin it.

yes, hydrolock is a possibility in this case. Pull ALL of the plugs at one time (making a note of which came from what cylinder, check them for moisture, and crank the engine over, watch for water to spit out the plug holes. Also, check for film (water) in the oil.

i've gone though such terrible weather for 6 hours straight with my CAI without any issues. you cannot suck up water unless you go through a puddle deep enough to cause the end of your tubing to be submerged in the water. and long enough to have it get to the engine.

well it does start up fine now. just wondering if anyone had an experience similar to this

I would just change your oil and filter to be safe. Maybe get yourself a AEM bypass Valve so it doesn't happen again.

what i suck some seafoam into the intake to disperse any water? you think that would help? and put some in the oil?

Your response had absolutely nothing to do with what he suggested.

He said CHANGE YOUR OIL AND FILTER. he said nothing about adding seafoam to your oil. He said nothing about sucking some seafoam into the intake. However, you can suck whatever you want into wherever you want for all I care.

That means dump all of your oil out, put a new filter on, and then refill with oil.

If you aren't going to be able to correctly interpret intelligent solutions, please don't ask questions.

Seafoam is primarily for cleaning off sludge, debris and buildup in your intake tract and fuel system.

Damn BlackJack you are on a pwning spree.

maybe if you paid attention to what i was suggesting you wouldnt have a dumbass remark. seafoam disperses water because it is petroleum. only a logical question. now why you dont think that is intelligent....i have no idea. maybe you should take an IQ test you retard.

:drunk: <-------------BlackJack

kill yourself

oh, god just lock this. Nothing good is going to come from this topic now.

Bmorezcunee your just egging it on. Let it roll of your shoulders and you will have a better experience on here.

yeah im a long time viewer before joining finally. i know how it gets here but that wasnt even called for. he basically said i was not intelligent because i thought outside the box. if i saw petroleum disperses water and we are talking about hydrolocking , lets put 2 and 2 together. just cause hes having a bad day doesnt mean i need to hear it. who skips over key parts in a complete sentence anyway? what school did this 'tard go to.....

What Vtold recommended and what you asked are two completely different things. If you asked your question outright instead of quoting Vtolds, it wouldn't have sounded like you were coming from left field.

On to the issue at hand...I had something similar happen and it cleared itself out. But I think Vtolds had the best advice for you so far. I don't think seafoam will help you with your issue as BJ was explaining it's more for sludge and buildup. Seafoam isn't WD-40.

Easy! man dont take that road with anyone on here! everyone on here is a friend with each other! you mess with one you mess with all! (not speaking for anyone because ive seen some pretty bad fights on here) just take it easy and be cool! i dont know much about intakes because i dont have one for this reson(i am afraid of sucking water into my motor) but alot of other people do and just listen to them...they know ALOT!

why kill myself when I can laugh at you. If you don't want to sound retarded, then learn to proof-read your posts before hitting the submit button, you silly little shit.

I read your post three times, and still got the same message.

try this: "what IF i suck some seafoam into the intake......"

That makes it sound more like a new question.

effin noobs.


I went to the school that learned if you have liquid in a cylinder that causes hydrolock, not to add MORE liquid to it. who's the 'tard now?

roffhms!

and what is your degree in? a Masters in Menstruation Reenactment? why dont you just admit your little outburst earlier was ignorant and uncalled for? and in case you didnt learn at school for the socially inept that seafoam is PETROLEUM. water and oil a 2 different things.

lock lock lock lock lock!!

yes please lock this thread. Blackjack is on his period and his tampon is all soaked up
