Crazy that such a low level of water destroyed your engine. Remind me to never take my car into any type of puddle...

 

Yeah my G hardly ever sees rain....that's when my Jeep comes in handy if need be. Hopefully you'll have your new engine in no time.

 

I should hear an update on the new engine today, yeah i mean like i said it was as high as the kickplate, so it def just wasnt a little puddle......but with water splashing while driving and from other cars, i can see how it could have got into the engine

 

well the dealer put the new engine in and the car started fine, seems theres only 1 issue
check engine light came on because of the o2 sensor...........so they have to overnight a new o2 sensor to finish the car....

is that good news? bad news? i dont even know where the hell the o2 sensor is located

 

manifold

 

???????????? lol

 

It's mounted on the manifold and since it's a sensor the electrical connection must have been compromised during your engine washing

 

so what do you think?
The tech said once they replace the o2 sensor i should be ready to roll, do you think the electrical part of my car will be ok? maybe just the 02 sensor got messed up from the electric getting wet that night?

 

Question:

When old engine is replaced with new engine, do they reset the odometer?

 

new engine is in, new o2 sensor is in..........no electrical damage seen by the tech, car is ready to roll

what a brutal 3 weeks

 

no, no and no. < Just making sure I type more than the minimum characters to post

 

Keep an eye on everything and good luck to you now. Enjoy it all over again!

 

yeah im pretty psyched, figures it pouring out today when i go pick it up, hopefully theres no puddles

 

Puddles, not good.

 

If you do have that Injen CAI, its possible it was hydrolock and you might want to switch it out or something :/
