help...palyado + nginig sa makina after lumusong sa baha

[usong725]

help naman mga guys. pag pinasukan ba ng tubig ang engine, aandar at magagamit parin? ano mga possible problem pag napadaan sa baha?

napadaan kasi ako sa malugay st dyan sa makati last friday night. since heavy rain nung afternoon nun, baha pala. kaya lang one way yung street at may mga kasunod ako kaya hindi na maka pag u-turn. medyo mataas yung baha kasi ramdam mo splash ng tubig (para ako nasa bangka :D ) at halos nasa tambutso na ng nissan LEC taxi na sinundan ko yung tubig. sa awa ng Diyos, hindi naman tumirik. Pero after nun, palyado na takbo. pinabayaan ko lang kasi baka may nabasa lang sa electricals. i thought ok na sya the following day.

kahapon, ginamit ulit yung lynx. palyado, erratic yung idling at magaspang na yung takbo, yung parang may pugak. at saka kahit nasa 900 ang rpm nanginginig yung engine. tapos parang may amoy sunog na rubber sa engine bay.

this morning, ni-start ko engine and left it idling for 10mins. wala na yung erratic idling. pero nung ni-test drive ko around the block, palyado parin at magaspang yung takbo.

ano kaya dapat icheck? baka may kakilala kayong good mechanic na naghome service? takot na ako na gamitin yung oto ng malayuan eh.

ford lynx gsi 99 nga pala ung kotse.

Thanks

wet distributor or spark plugs?

this happened to me before nung nagaaral pa ako sa uste, was using an 89 corolla 1.6gl, literal na jacuzzi (tama ba spelling?) ako sa loob pero di ko lang binitawan yung gas hanggang mareach ko yung higher grounds ng welcome rotonda.. after that all i did was change the alternator, change oil, tune up at shampoo ng interior then everything was good to go as if nothing had happened kaya bilib ako sa model na AE92 lalo na yung mga 1989 models na sa japan pa ginawa at dinala lang dito.. sobrang tibay

Madugo talaga pag baha at na-water damage ang tsikot mo.
O, eto checklist - lahat na ~

CHEVRON'S TIPS FOR DEALING WITH POSSIBLE WATER DAMAGE

ENGINE CRANKCASE

• Check the dipstick for water
• Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine. If the oil level is too high, chances are that there is water in the crankcase. If any water is present, before starting the engine, drain and replace the crankcase oil and filter.
• A vehicle that has been submerged in water may have water in the engine cylinders. This can cause damage when the engine is turned over, To avoid problems, remove spark plugs and turn the engine over several revolutions with the starter to expel any water present.
• Replace the power steering fluid.

FUEL SYSTEM

• Remove air cleaner and ducting as required to determine if water is in the manifold, or the carburetor float bowl.
• If water is found, flush out injectors or carburetor, fuel pump and air lines.
• Replace fuel filters and air cleaner.
• Check for water in the fuel tank.
• If water is found drain the fuel tank lines and refill with uncontaminated fuel.

TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL

• Drain and replace lubricant.

BRAKES

• Inspect master cylinder reservoir for water. If found, flush system with air and then fresh brake fluid.

WHEEL BEARINGS

• Clean and repack grease-packed wheel bearings. Replace seals.

CHASSIS POINTS

• Grease all chassis fittings, including universal joints, clutch shaft linkage, parking brake cables, etc.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

• Dry out the vehicle. Water in electronic controls, electrical connectors and light sockets can result in corroded connectors and electrical malfunction.
• Remove battery cables at the battery, Inspect and replace if necessary, otherwise clean, reinstall and tighten the cables.
• Remove distributor cap and remove all moisture form cap, rotor and other components, as well as plug-wire connectors.
• Remove moisture from alternators. Inspect bearings, repack or replace as Remove moisture form starter motor and starter solenoid.
• Pull spark plugs and dry or replace as necessary.
• Further electrical work may be needed. The importance of a qualified mechanic cannot be stressed enough.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

• Be sure to check unused petroleum products for possible water contamination.
• Make sure that any drained vehicle fluids are disposed of in a legal and environmentally sound manner.

- may nabasa ako na distributorless na daw yung Ford Lynx?
- about sa fuel, kakapakarga ko lang ng XCS
- air filter eh malinis at hindi basa. kaka tuneup lang kasi last month
- sa brakes, ok naman kasi hindi nag lock up. pero papatingin ko na din including ung chassis
- about yung oil, ok pa naman. nasa ~1k kms palang natakbo since last change oil. pero balak ko ipa-change oil na din para sigurado.
- yung spark plugs na lng hindi ko pa nacheck kasi hirap mag alis sa lynx dahil may screw pa.

gusto ko sana ipa check na sa car shop kaya lang wala bukas dahil linggo ngayon.
Q1 - if ever ba nakapasok tubig sa engine, ok lang ba gamitin papunta sa shop? any bad effects?
Q2 - kung nabasa electricals, ok lang ba pabayaan lang til matuyo ulit? any bad effects?

Thanks po

replace the plugs muna. the ignition system is a wasted spark one though so no distributor.
