Holy shitballs! It's freaking POURING out tonight!
Almost had another bad water incident tonight, like the time Evan and I were stranded on the side of the highway because my car sucked up some water/moisture. There was a LOT of standing water on the way back from the grocery store, and the car started acting like it did before when this happened. Luckily, it must not've sucked up enough to kill the car completely. That, or the bypass valve I installed after the first incident worked! The car was running like dog s***, and the CEL came on, but it stayed running enough to limp home, about a mile and a half.
Letting it dry out in the garage overnight, hopefully all will be well tomorrow. Finally get to use the scanner I bought after the last incident too! Haven't needed it...lol

Got some water on the MAF sensor. Happened to me again tonight because of the rain too.

yeah, coming home on 90W from work, my fastest wipe speed couldn't swipe the rain away fast enough. 4 lanes of traffic were down to 25mph but it kept moving so it wasn't too bad. i was actually quite surprised i didn't encounter any accidents ...
I'm always afraid of this happening with my CAI. Luckily I haven't had any problems yet.
I think that's awesome. I'm not sure I would be upset if someone decorated my house provided they did a decent job.
What are bath salts?
I'm convinced the bypass valve prevented any serious damage, or enough damage to leave us stranded on the side of the road with a hatch full of groceries. lol
All was well today! Cleared the light, good to go.

I had pre-filters on both my CAIs and had no issues, then again I never had to deal with "deep" water

pre-filters or driving through deep water?
Get a K&N pre-filter, fo sho. I had a lot of problems with my filter and MAF getting wet and my car would run like poo after the swap. Since I got the pre-filter I haven't had a problem since.
And did you ever get the lower splash shield installed?
Kevin, you need those for the winter too, buddy. Or at least get rid of that CAI set-up for the winter. I don't want to do another swap for a couple months...

Deep water, thilly!
And yea, I got the shield I needed, but haven't installed yet. This was really an isolated incident, the only thing I need to do to prevent it next time, is avoid deep water! hahaha
