Well I was driving in the rain last night. Never happened before to me until i put my new bumper on. It pretty much leaves the AEM CAI air filter in plain sight (which i didnt realize till now). So I was guessing that since i was driving in the rain, the rain was comming through the hole and pretty much soaking down my exhaust. Now i was just cruising down the road to get to Wal-mart and engine just all of a sudden bogs down and shuts off.

So i box off my intake, Start the car and white smoke/steam comes out of the exhaust. I get home Slowly but i get there. I go out today and my car runs normal. I take it down the road and thry to redline it just to make sure it runs good. It hits about 4k PRM and prety much stops there. So i try it again and It backfires? and lets loose the the redline.

After this elaborate story, Is it possible that there was sitting water in my engine this morning? Is it possible that I still bent a rod or caused some kind of minor/major damage to my engine?

no, tha water pro bly damged a sensor or seal, casue i had seen water get suck into an engine and t did the exact same thing to this other guy that you are describing, bring it in to have it checked out, my buddy had actually need to do something big like replace a piston or something, but idk if that was just bad care, or becasue of the water getting sucked in

If I were you, I''''d try some drygas and seafoam, then reset the ECU.

The drygas will get injected via the fuel injectors and will mix with any water in the engine to allow it to burn ..... FYI, there probably isn''t any water left in the cylinders since you''ve already gotten it to run ...... just a precaution.

The seafoam will clean the intake manifold and will get any trapped water out of there.

The ECU reset will clear bad behavior caused by a fixed problem.

This will all only cost you $10 and about a half hour of time.

Seafoam gets sucked into the intake via the brake booster line. Drygas goes in the gas. I don''t think that you actually hydrolocked the engine, but you may have blown a sensor as mentioned earlier. I''m surprised there are no CEL''s. Does the check engine light come on for a second when you start the car? I wouldn''t be surprised if there is a CEL, but also a burnt out bulb. If you have an AutoZone nearby, they read codes for free .... you should check this out.

Reset the ECU after the Seafoam. Maybe again after you run the drygas for 100 miles too.
