Oh while I am thinking about it, I went out to see if I could get my daughters Honda running and I tried to hit the key and the motor was locked up. I pulled the plugs and turned it over and water shot out like cannons on a destroyer!!!!

I poured out water from the air filter box, the hose that goes from the air filter to the throttle body, shot water out of the cylinders and I jacked the front up as high as the jack stands could go and when I turned it over water was being shot out of the exhaust!

It would almost fire off but I have to replace the plugs and the air filter before I try it again. I imagine the O2 sensor was fairly wet and was confusing the computer into thinking lord knows what. So after the thing drains the water out of the exhaust and the parts put in it should be okay.

But all in all I guess I got a little over 4 or 5 gallons of water out of her motor. And I told my wife that the motor was still in great condition because there was no water in the oil it was all on top of the pistons. So I know the rings are still good and it hasn't lost any compression!!

My daughter has been really worried about hurting her car and I told her that she did not do anything wrong and not to worry about it.
