i did the same thing but i went to a car part store and got some gas treatment that has a water evaporator type thing in it, you can find them at any auto store, just read the fine writing on the back of the bottle, i also had to replace the spark plugs, you can also leave the plugs out for a little while so the water can escape from inside the motor. it is a honda it will run forever, my friend also did the same thing to his civic, but he got drunk and drove it into a lake, the water was over the top of the hood. he did the same thing as me and it has never ran better. so try it out.

If i were you i would also go for the h22. If you have no $ and you know what your doing start tearing it down to see how bad it is. It might be a cheap fix if you do the labor yourself. Did you try pulling out the plugs and craking the motor?

By the way does the aem bypass valve even work for sure. Cause if it does than everyone should have one it's cheap insurance.
