I was driving one day.. i dont have a wheel wall bc i got in a wreck and its hasnt been shiipped yet.. and it was ranning.. i hit a lil puddle but it wasnt little it was a big puddle.. and it sucked alot of water and it died... then it wouldnt start at all i tried to jump it and wouldnt start... I finnaly got it starting by replacing the oil which had alot of water and replacin my spark plugs.. not all i hear is a rattle while its running i think it might be a value or something... what do u all think.. just recently the check engine light went on after i took off the intake to check to see if nething was damage.. do u all have ne ideas on what the rattle would be... let me know please thanx..

sounds like you might have hydrolocked ur engine. its not smart to drive through puddles if you dont have things to protect ur filter from water, like if u got in a crash.



EDIT: not trying to flame, but use some damn punctuation correctly. It was a hella of a time trying to read ur post.

lol.. damn cambo, lettin in on the poor guy..


When does the rattlign occur? Does it follow hand in hand with your rpms? Is it like a constant thing, or does it speed up when you push the gas? Give us a small description of when and how the sound occurs.. does it happen on intervals or is it completely random.. excetra, where does it sound like it is coming from.. what side of the engine.. etc...

it sounds like you have some water damage in at least one of the cylinders or in the block.. you should have it checked by a shop for flood damage..

usually that is an indication that something is wrong with the cylinders.. but that would mean say if one was damaged then there would be a slight pause between each rattle... so either 2 or more of the cylinder could be affected, or just your combustion chamber may be affected by the water and be damaged.. it doesn't mean the end of the world, and doesn't really mean you have to fix it, but it is a good idea to and depending on what the shop diagnosis is where you'd wanna go from there.. also maybe try 2 different shops just incase you get the feeling 1 shop is trying to get more work than they need to from you. Let me know what you find out.
