Well, it was pretty high water. But then, it didn't die immediately either. And after I removed the intake from the throttle body, it ran for a while with no problems. Hopefully after a good night's rest she will feel much better.

If you are afraid of hydrolock...you should not drive the car first of all. Take out all the spark plugs and crack your motor to see if water will shoot out. If only oil shoots out then you will be okey. Replace the spark plugs and then change your motor oil. Let the car idle a little bit run it hot...and just for some security change your motor oil one more time. Then you should be okey.

Exactly what did you mean by "crack your motor?"

crank your motor with your spark plugs off.

I put a content filter on my laptop, so I can't access the link you left. I can only imagine. Let's keep it clean guys. I was quoting Sanford & Son, not slandering you.

[QUOTE=teamxcelap2,Oct 16 2006, 11:30 PM]We had a bad downpour lately and on my way to school, I unintentionally went through some high water.
