Hopefully they won't need to put it on a lift because I'm sure they'll refuse since he has a bodykit. Most people who have kits or are lowered run into this problem just trying to get an oil change.

Well the car is fixed guys, thanks for all of your replies! And so far only one person told me what the correct problem/solution was. And the winner is........................

















NA350z! Congrats! Lol... the solution was what he said, take spark plugs out, then turn over the car, and let it shoot all the water out. Now it runs fine, and just gonna change the oil tomorrow for safety. Thanks for everyones replies, oh and now ill add, i did have a CAI, and iam not stock :P.

Oh and my car was technically hydrolocked, my uncle said if i had a 6mt chances would of been greater of me bending a rod. Because when my car shut down, the torque converter just kept spinning cause iam 5at... where as if i was manual i would of rolled a lil bit, which could of caused a rod to bend.

Well congrats, although I got to admit I kknew you had cai on since you kept asking what about if I had a cai, lol.

Good thing you did not bent a rod or anything, but you should probably look into getting a vale like the one the AEM cai has.

Does your CAI have the bypass valve in case of water ingestion?

Glad to hear it's all fixed now.

No, injen CAI do not have that. To my knowledge, only AEM and Nismo have those?

Hmm not sure who has em, I was just curious, as that would help prevent any future mishaps with water.

Gotta love monsoon season.

I've had 2 friends hydrolock engines using a CAI.

You'll never convince me to put one of those in my car

I have driven a Tacoma and a 4Runner easily through 3+ feet of water. Its pretty tough to hydrolock (although it can be done)...

Congrats man. Try a cold air with the by-pass. And I'm glad to hear that the car wasn't on the side of the road, getting molested by hooligans.

Same here man. I just got my Z. Sold my 2000 Tacoma that had 5" of lift. I was out driving in the huge storm we had here in AZ on Tuesday with my Taco. It was the last day I had her. Great truck and man could it wheel in the desert like hell and plow right though waist high water.
