Help! Did I tear up my car

99GT35thLE · November 22nd, 2011, 09:16 AM

Had the same thing happen going through a car wash, the car was running going through the car wash. It was spraying the tires and my filter is in the wheel well, the filter and MAF got wet. Wouldn't run for shit. Had it towed to the house, it sat for 2 days and started right up and ran fine ever since.

I cleaned the mass air flow sensor and it started right up and is running fine. Im not sure what long term damage this caused my motor though

^he said its running fine.

good never free rev after you drive through a puddle.

dont let it dry out, pull the plugs and turn it over with ome rags down the spark plugs holes (by hand) you shouldnt need to clean the mass air, wont hurt there could be road scum on it now, but make sure you pull the plugs. i did the exact same thing with my old v6 mustang and had a nice hole in the oil pan with a rod poking out. just remember you cant compress liquid so something is gonna give.

woops my bad jsut read page 2. good to hear there was no damage man, you lucked out!!

ChainedMayhem · November 22nd, 2011, 07:18 PM

Yea I don't think it got enough water to hydro lock it. Im am such a dumbass for free reving it but hopefully it diddnt do any damage to my motor. It is running like a champ with no problems right now I hope it stays that way. I have 75xxx miles on this motor and I def don't have the money for a new one. Thanks to everyone on this forum for the help

ChainedMayhem · November 22nd, 2011, 07:19 PM

Also I left it overnight at a resturant in town and someone stabbed one of my tires..

ChainedMayhem · November 22nd, 2011, 09:48 PM

Haha no kidding. When I ask if it can get any worse after sucking in water someone slashes my tires. "Can it get any worse" was a retorical question..but yea it got worse

cschoening09 · November 22nd, 2011, 09:53 PM

lol sorry to hear man.

A bent rod doesn't hide itself. If its running OK then the motor is OK. Sorry about the tires. I have a difficult time understanding that type of behavior.

ChainedMayhem · November 22nd, 2011, 10:21 PM

I would still rather replace a tire than a motor any day though lol. Thanks a lot guys
