It seemed to me that Destiny was a bit aggressive on that post, but it might not have been towards you directly.

Let's try to stay focused here.
I don't have a car.

Cory, the customer relations guy, didn't want to get our hopes up, but he is very optimistic about our situation.

You see he makes no decisions; he just gets us started with a more important step on that ladder.

Sorry about that.

In my understanding, a puddle, even a deep one (which may be an oxymoron), will not hydrolock a standard intake system.

I saw you listed a CAI, and knowing how CAI makes a wet-vac out of a cars, I made the wrong conclusion.

Apparently, the '86 Honda Civic has a pretty low intake nozzle in the fender. I was living in San Antonio, and we had this incredible rain. I went through a stop light that was at the bottom of a valley (following other cars), and the engine stalled. I got it started again, but the engine was making all kinds of racket. It seemed to drive okay, but the engine was TOAST.

Problem solved.

I now am driving a Chevy Metro. It seems to have no power steering.

Car should be ready at the end of the week.

Thanks for the input.

It seems that in this case special circumstances came into play that may have favored me.

I understand that Honda has to be very cautious about the warranty claims.

That's the way businesses work.

Thanks again for all of the help.

Sounds like Incubus had to sign a non-disclosure agreement to get his car fixed. C'mon, we want to hear the details!!

That's a good place to start. But when it doesn't get you anywhere show your teeth.
