yep, i don't run fender liners on my alero though and it tends to get a bit more wet than most probably. it was definitely sucking in water. limped er home and pulled the maf out and water dumped out...

you're going to laugh at this-

My cousin took a can of seafoam, took his intake off, tilted the intake pipe up (still connected to the TB) DUMPED the entire can into his intake tube untill it filled up (1.3 litre 4 cylinder) and then while the fluid was floating in his intake tube, he tried to start the damn car.. he bent 8 out of 16 valves, ruined his crank shaft, and one of his pistons broke apart-

I lol'd when i got that phone call-
