I honestly cannot figure out why they do. Every month or so we see posts like this and it's just not something I ever think about. All downside no gains.

Hope you get it running OP>

 

Thanks everyone, and yes this should be stickied so people know about it with CAI, but to be honest, i should have realized it and it was a mistake on my end. However the first thing i am going to do when and if i get it running again will be to replace the CAI. Thanks everyone for the good luck...

Running Injen CAI

Just dont get 'em

Just purchased Heel Toes Ignals ETD, and a 10 inch sub and amp..

 

So how deep was the puddle you drove through? I'm guessing at least 1-2 feet deep?

 

LOL Naw it was not 1-2 feet deep. i'd say maybe 6 inches MAX, and my intake is on the right side where it should have been shallower. Problem was i believe that i dont have any fender lining in at the moment...
Anyway my problem was that i tried starting it up again without taking the plugs out and when i did so i heard that PING pretty sure that was one of the valves or rods being bent.

Billman was nice enough to call me and walk me through everything. If you guys stall in water, push the car out, take the plugs out try and start it a couple times to get any water out if its in there and than you should be good to go.

 

so you were not able to save it ? . Props to Billman250 for assisting like that, good man !

 

Damn...that sucks. Hope you can get the car up and running soon!

 

This is why i've stayed away from the CAI so far, enless I end up getting a short ram. I hope you get this fixed with little issue.

 

 

While that's the proper course of action, to say that "you should be good to go" is a major oversimplification.

It's entirely possible that the engine is destroyed by the time it quits running the first time.

 

I meant as in ur engine wont be as fuked as mine
