Water in engine, wont start

[DTalon]

ayte boys need some help here...got a 95 talon n got caght in a thunderstorm while driving n drove the car into a big A$$ PUDDLE...water was over the curb on the street....my engine bogged / coughed...then stalled n i havent been able 2 start the car since...ive tried everything ..replaced spark pugs, checked starter, lots of other stuff...the engine doesnt even turnover...juss clicks when i try n start it each time....i took off my intake hose n it was full of water....NE suggestions?, thanx D

I have an idea, take a vaccume, ducktape a hose to the end and shove the hose down into each cylinder through the spark plug holes, that should suck up 95% of the water in the cylinders.

lol^^

i pressure washed my engine and i got water down in the sparkplugs, i just used an air compressor to blow all the water out of there.

so my advice is get your car to a relaible sourse of air and blow the shit out of your engine

take about 3 tablespoons of automatic tranny fluid and put it in each cylinder, let it sit for 24hrs then come back and try to turn it over with a breaker bar! i hydrolock my dirtbike motor constantly from ice racing (ice/water in the intake) and the motor siezes, the tranny fluid coats the piston rings and re lubes them and the cylinder walls, if you get it to turn over, start it then drive it for a good ways (around the block a lot so if it dies then just push it home) and replace the plugs after it gets done smoking cause it goin to smoke like a bitch seeing there is tranny fluid in the cylinders! good luck, hope it helps

wut if the car has been sitting...i drained the oil because i found it was a lil watery.....n the car has been sitting 4 about a week now....will the tranny fluid do nething now....also its hard 2 get 2 the crank becuase of its location in the 95 talon my starter is curretly out....could i turn it from the flywheel??

oh damn... 4 weeks! its good you drained the oil but since it was sitting for so long, looks like your goin to need a rebuild!

[DTalon]

not 4 weeks.............1 week

try the tranny fluid supposedly it will work even if the engines sat for a month you just have to let it soak in longer

[EclipseRST]

oh well in that case put the tranny fluid in there right away... like as soon as you read this go get some auto tranny fluid and put it in there! let it sit atleast 12-18hrs. then try to turn it over by hand with a breaker bar!
