Hey i was driving down the street in the rain when i noticed a big puddle so i slow to under 10 and went thru it because i could not get in the other lane. When i went thru it i thought it seemed smaller then i had thought but my car died. I pulled off and tried to restart but no luck until i gassed it and started it like 10 minutes later. There was tons of white smoke (looked like vapor maybe) and a really rought idle but it finally ran normal. What could be the cause of this, i was thinking hydro lock at first but then it started. Was there water in the tail pipe or something? thanks

 

Exhaust pressure should be enough to keep the pipe from filling with water. Id guess you sucked some water up but not enough to lock the engine.

 

you need a bypass...stat

 

hmm glad my engine isnt screwed
I dont have an intake so i dont really need a bypass

 

ahhh....i see you're in central fla...so it downpours everyday at 3...i hit some big puddles too, up here but haven't stalled the engine the weather up here makes me wanna just run a short ram because of the rain

 

i got the 2 pic CAI so i guess if it ever gets taht bad, i'll just remove the bottom piece and put the filter up top

 

ya think those bypass really work? i think its BS.

 

Yea central FL sucks ass You can never keep your car clean

I think the bypass works but only if its completely submerged

 

if ur in conditions like that in FLA y not just but a cai wit a bypass and ditch the stock?...itll keep ur engine from lockin wit the bypass and ull get some horsepower

 

Honestly i rarely drive the car anymore so im not going to pour more money into a slow car, my acura navi was the last mod. Dont get me wrong, with 255,000 or some where around there, i couldnt like the car more
