hey, a few weeks ago, i got caught in a hellacious flash flood rain storm. i went through a dip in the road where there was quite a bit of water. well, just when i thought i was safe. the car starts to stutter, like its going to die, although it never did, but when i accelerated it would totally shut down, not die, but shut down. after a few times of that, everything was fine. now ive read here that this is very bad. bent rods n such. if everything seems to be ok, as far as it acting ok, could something still be wrong??? please help. i didnt think much about it till i was reading on 2gnt and so, i decided to post here to get help. Please help me. thank you in advance

i got water in my cold air intake and my engine started to shake and rpms's dropped like it was about to shut off. after a while it stopped and everything was fine. i dont think you will have any further problems if ur not having any now. dont fall for that bybass filter BS. thats just a way for aem to make money off you. ive ran over puddles several times and only one time my engine acted wierd. dont trip until u start feelin a loss of power and a Chck engn light flashes on you. :dsm:
 
alright!!! :thumb: thanx guys,i was really kinda worried there for a lil bit. i read " water in my cai............and bent rods"....... and im like SHHHHHHHHHEEEIT!! ha, ok thanks again lots and im glad you guys are here for me. :dsm:
 
HYDROlock ;) . Your car didnt hydrolock if it is still running ok. You would hear and feel it if it was locked up. The reason it started to die was that it was trying to suck in air but couldnt. Same thing that happens when you plug up an exhaust, it cant breath so it wants to die.
