Here's what I've done so far.

Remove and replace spark plugs.
Got engine to turn over and got as much water out of the pistons and the throttle body and intake pipe.
Drained old oil and changed oil filter.
Poured Sea Foam into gas and oil to remove excess water.
Used Sea Foam into throttle body for recommended time.
Pulled PCV valve and blew it out.

Side note: I haven't tried to remove any water from the exhaust as I didn't think there was any in it. But when the car is revved up and the smoke comes out, there is light moisture on the tail pipes.

So... now the car is starting but it has a knocking sound and there is still a lot of white smoke. My check engine light is on. When the car is low idle the light is steady. When the engine is revved at 3k or greater it blinks.

About 30 min earlier the car would not idle itself at all. It would cut off if you let off the gas. Just before this video ended, the car idled itself at 2500, but then slowly dropped out and cut off.

I need some help on this big time.

Thanks for any info you can give.

That engine needs to come out of that car for inspection and replacement....

 

I dont even know why you start it ...

Im pretty sure you a rebuilt by now

 

Well the white smoke could just be from the seafoam.

I would pull the code and see what the code says.

The video sounds like a jackhammer running. You really need to stop running it now before the damage gets worse.

 

Affirmative. Stop running or stop trying to fix the problem yourself because this is not a DIY kind of thing. Best bet, find a mechanic to either replace or rebuild your motor. You have loud engine knock.

 

pull the code its obviously for a misfire probably in all 4 cylinders plus the random misfire. You may not need to yank the whole motor out but I am sure the head needs to come off for inspection at the very least. Probably have a valve playing paddy cake with a piston.

 

your not suppose to start up the engine when it hydrolocks. By the way, how did it happened? Did you not have an umbrella? did you drive through a deep puddle?

 

AEM ftmfl. I think all you guys with hydrolocked engines need to get on AEMs case to stop pointing the filter upwards.

anyway, best case scenario: bent a valve so its idling funny.

 

Threads like this make me wonder why people still put these silly intakes on their cars.

Sorry bout your mishap.
