motiis Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Last 2 days, I drove my car during hard rained & flooding also. Water was high about 85cm. During drove in flooding area, my engine got suddenly stop then couldn't be started until now. Battery should be OK, Voltage between +,- around 13.14V, headlight, radio, air condition are fine.There is no C.E.L appearance but if short 2P service plug, C.E.L is stay on When turn on ignition sw, that seems starter not crank the engine. I heard only one "click" only then no engine shaking as usual, So I tried hot wire from solenoid pin to battery+, there was the same result. Have your guys suggest me what I've to do next? Forgotten give my car info, my car is civic 96 EX automatic TR no VTEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airjordan223 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 sounds like you sucked water up in your intake. game over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well, not necessarily. If he's hitting the ignition and the solenoid is clicking but the starter isn't firing at all sounds more like an electrical issue then a hydrolock problem. A failed starter wouldn't cause the car to turn off though. Possibly a larger electrical short with the main relay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motiis Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Man!! I've got some update. Starter is not bad as I thought, Battery Voltage is a little low, so I jump start then starter seems crank the engine but I heard something sound like motor running run low & I found some water gush from the exhaust tip. It look like rust inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motiis Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Bro, my Civic is incarnated. That was battery shit!! after I replaced it my car could start but not easy at first time I found lot of water flow out from exhaust tip. After turn on & off many time, my car seems to be normal.

Raley Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 right until you realize you have bent valves... next time you do it, pull the spark plugs and crank it a bunch... let it air out for about a day, then throw the plugs back in and you'll be fine..
