super rich, causing two dead cylinders
ok guys, hydro locked
we have had knarly rains for the past 4 days, i was on my way home and inded up going through 6 inches of water, it was down the street from my house, and it stalled, i fired it back up, ran fine kept on shoving at about 1200 rpm and 4mph, stalled again, hydro locked
i pushed it home and pulled all the plugs out and cranked it over a few times, cleaned the plugs and fired it back up, runs super rich
i put some new plugs in cuz i figure the old ones were fouled and still runs rough, did compresion test, all is good, so i figured ou two cylinders are not firing, it also hapens to be the two cylinders that had water in them, only about a spoon full of water came out when i cleaned out the cyclinders.
i also have a cool air intake and were my air intake temp sensor is located , it got water logged,
i pulled it out and water poured out of the sensor
im also thinken the oxigen sensor could be fouled also , all the cylinders are runing rich, only two are not firing, and im looking for other opinions

Re: super rich, causing two dead cylinders
Make sure you got all the water out... If the engine hydro locked, there should be a LOT more water in the cylinders than just a couple of spoonfuls, as that's barely enough to fill the dishes in the pistons. I might even go for new wires and cap and rotor as well... Check your spark on all the cylinders.

Re: super rich, causing two dead cylinders
Also probably a good idea to change your oil as well the filter. Don't want water in that.
