hey guys, jus wonderin wat hydro lock can do to your car...I jus got home an on the way here I ran into a deep puddle, the thing is I lost the plastic part that goes between the left front wheel and the engine so I think my engine jus sucked in a lot of water. =( she started to stumble after hittin the puddle. so I'm jus wonderin wat I'm lookin for if anything to help fix it.....
thanx for your time

 

If you sucked in water, you might as well start looking for a new engine....

 

thas wat I was afraid of....but she seems to b runnin fine....she started to boogle when I went thru the puddle. Once I got home I checked out my engine bay. there was water up on top of the valve cover an on the intake tube. but at this moment she's runnin like normal

 

if its running fine now than youll be fine, the water would have evaperated in the heat. if you get hydrolock its almost instant

 

Hydro lock Sucks ! i went thru what Seemed to be a Lake .. but was a Water puddle .. my engine locked Right up that Sucked ! it was somthin i have never heard of ... i had to find out the hard way ...

 

well I no she took a sip lol I jus wanted to no if there was any damage done. cause if there was I'd wanna try to fix it before it gets worse

 

no your fine infact the main reason reason she boged down was from the eatra presure on the pullys, i dont think you sucked up much water at all

 

If you suck up enough water, the engine should bog down and die out on you. You should not attempt to restart the car. The best thing to do is, pull your spark plugs and then try cranking the car to shoot all the water out of it. Pull the intake manifold off, and drain water. Put in a new intake manifold gasket and new spark plugs. Drop the engine oil pan and replace the gasket and filter with new ones, put in fresh oil. Then try and crank the engine.

 

so......since my engine dint die on me...does that mean I'm fine? today it was runnin a lil weird

 

It should be OK, but you might wanna put some fresh fluids in it just to be safe.
