Car got flooded, the water kind
#28
how does it seem it just needs oil, if there are no plugs in it and the motor wont turn off the flywheel, the Renesis is not made out of Titanium, most likely warped the rotor housing and will not let the rotor turn over, like its just wedged in there, ill find out for sure when i take it apart, if the motor is found to be fine then thats a whole different story, right now i need my car back.

good point from the other thread
still started
ok, called my insurance co (usaa) and i have a guy coming out to look at it . and as soon as i get a estimate or a yes or no i will get in touch with a few ppl and see if the engines are still available ...or possibly a rebuild .......UPDATE* the car will start now but runs like poo. i woke up this morning and just wanted to see what it would do and it cranked and sure enough fired right up but ran really bad and wouldnt idle so after 15-20 sec i cut it off because i know it will do nothing but screw it up and found more oil on the floor coming from behind the a/c compressor on the engine housing

Of course, you can get any engine to sniff water a little at a time, but no engine or even compressor can take a full gulp of water without either breaking from excess pressure or warping from temperature change. Just getting electronics wet on a car is death. Anyone wanna prove me wrong?
i won't even spray water to clean engine on any car worth over $2000. I just took my 2002 Dodge Dakota for a "detail" and told them I didn't want engine cleaned for $15. I got "free" spray job with P0601 obdII code which means pcm dead. the pu still runs and exhaust smells clean, but the water destroyed my electonics "computer", and it's ready for trade soon.
Anyone spray engines with water and no trouble? yeah, I sprayed my 1997 Stratus with no trouble, and it still works fine. Why does the nice **** always crater?
