well i was driving home from work and it was a crazy storm here in tampa,Fl...long story short i was going insanely slow through a puddle when suddenly my car just shut off and wouldnt turn back on...im thinking that my aem intake sucked up water and the engine is seized. Im just looking for any other advice that would be helpful. has this happened to anyone else? does insurance cover it if it still has full coverage on it? please help...thanks in advance..

 

yeah seems like you hydrolocked the motor when its raining i dont drive my car or i pull the intake off the throttle body and i have a aem bypass

 

well do you know if insurance would cover it hydrolocking?

 

as far as i know they do not cover an engine failure such as that. the best thing to do at this point is take it to a mechanic and see if they can get it to turn over.... what kind of intake do you have?

 

This may just be an old wives tale but I heard if you use brake fluid inside the cylinders from the spark plug side it can sometimes unseize the motor since brake fluid is pretty corosive. But I wouldnt reccomended this until you are sure its seized and are completely out of options before replacing the motor.

 

try taking out the spark plugs drop a few drops of gasoline on top of the cylinder and turn the motor over manually with out the plugs. and try to fire her up worked on my b16 years ago with no issues

 

.just waiting for a claims adjuster to give me a call today to see what the deals going to be...hopefully they will help me out

 

depending on the condition the motor could easily be saved, i would take it out, remove spark plugs, manifolds, oil pan and flush it !!

 

took the car to LHT and dropped it off...more updates to come soon

 

So much for that extra hp the CAI was giving you.
