did you completely submerge it?
Did the engine completly lock and die? or did it sputter.
It is possible to have completely saturated the MAF...making the car run terrible. Take the MAF out of the car and let it thoroughly dry out, then try the car again.
good luck man ... sorry to hear about this

Well it felt like the water was still below the bumper. And when other cars drove past me afterwards, I could feel the water hitting below the car. The engine completely locked up. It wouldn't even make one revolution when I tried to start her after I got out of the water. I talked to the service guys over at Riverside Infiniti, and they said that they'll check it on Monday and call me. They're pretty sure the engine is gone though. They did say they would switch over the stock intake that they have instock before the insurance adjuster comes over for inspection. They gave me the price because they just did some ladies sedan from the last storm that blew through and they happened to still have a copy of the repair order. On a positive, I will have a new '05 motor and probably a new tranny too. The tranny has been grinding into 5th gear. Any way, I'll keep you all informed as it progesses. Maybe I should try to get one of those Stroker motors put in. hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I guess my out-of-towner mentality really shined thru yesterday
I have posted my rollerblades for sale after the embarrassment, seriously.
I am now buying a bike.
jim (hangs head is shame)
side note:
Chad's car rides AMAZING
HKS RS + all Camber fixin' goodies on order - damn you protocav
I hear I get a discount when I install a-arms with coilovers

i will definitely be out there tonight, and i absolutely love wings and things (plus it's 2 miles from my pad). the parking is kind of crappy though, but i guess we will have to check it out. we are still meeting at the mart though, right?
jim, i am stoked for your coilovers!! i almost wish i would have waited and gotten those instead of mine. the road test i took you on was kind of lame. i threw the car around a bit, but all of the good turns were covered with traffic. i will have to make it up to you with a lap of my favorite loop.
hopefully you didn't take our rollerbashing too seriously (allthough we were serious). if it is fun, then keep them. but skate with one of those mexican wrestler masks on (la lucha libre, biatch!!)

Cool on the wings and things 
I am excited about tonight for that alone.
10-4 on the Kmart meetup
Chad,
I would like to take that ride ... let me know when ... I bring my rollerblades.
I got a GREAT deal on the coilovers (lets say its less than these cars run in the quarter mile x100).
Jury is still out on the camber fixin goodies ... someone needs to review those Cusco ones and get the gory details otherwise I am splurging for 350EVO. Rears are gonna be spc like rob
the rollerbashing comments were taken in stride (as I do with most comments here ) I am just slowly learning the intricacies of socals mentality lol .... I am cool about it ... I aint sellin them, but I really do need to get a bike....any body got hookups on trek or giant bikes? ... I can get you plasmas
