[thatrussian]

errr... get the alternator tested then go for the starter, after that i'd make sure all the wires arn't messed up (mambe when you tryied to start it one poped) after that check the ECU it might have fried just like the amps..
good luck to ya

[dynamic93]

well the level of the water only reached the interior no part of the engine was afected by the water only like 6 inches of water when in there and today i just took out the ecu and i saw that the harneses have water on them and in the holes too.

[dynamic93]

ok i dryed out the harneses and the conections to the comp ans now everything electical when i turned the key to the on position turned on but no car start i have a remote start alarm too. i turn the key back off and the dash lights keep getting dimmer and dimmer help out guys

[thatrussian]

your battery is going if the lights keep getting dimmer get a new battery, limp over to Autozone or Checkers and have them do an in car test of your alternator to make sure that didn't f#@k up.
keep us posted

[dynamic93]

thanx thatrussian ill keep u guys posted but i really need ur guyses help hear iam going to file a report to the fucking city because it was their falt off all this shit happening since they dont fucking clean he dam sewers

[RuderThanU]

Had the same problem with sewers backing up and flooding my car, i can almost guarantee the city will say 'tough, not our fault'. if you're lucky you can get the insurance to pay for some repairs - sux though cause you have to pay the deductible but at least you're not out more than that

[dwf137]

uhhh, i suggust you go to the insurance company.. a car that was in a flood is just about pointless to try and get working again. You're going to be doing a lot of electrical work, and you've gota be worried about getting water into the engine...

the insurance company should be able to cover flood damage..

[dynamic93]

well this is the case my brother only has the liability insurace the one cops request to have and another thinbg is that the watter did not reach the engine

[dwf137]

well, if the insurance company wont help then you've gota start replacing stuff..I'd say to check all of your fuses, make sure they're not blown. You might need to replace the ecu and if it's auto, the tcu as well. The battery and alternator should be fine if you said that the water did not get into the engine.

[dynamic93]

yeah only the inerior is back the ecu got watter in ir and is manual watter got up to about an inch off the short shifter
but before all this happen he had to take to fucking referrie to get it smoged check but i canceld it because not running, ( what is the leggal loudness of decimal for a exaust same car.

[dynamic93]

well i got my bros car runing with another ecu from a 98 civic hatchback i believe its a v tech but i would like to know if any of u guys would know if this is coo exeot the chek engine light is on but everyting rums good

[thatrussian]

the check engine light is probably on cuz the other car is a VTECH so when the ecu tries to switch it on it isn't there and so it freaks out. see if you can find a way to jump the ecu so the when the vtech switchs on it doesn't go crazy

[accord_racer90]

go to a junk yard andjust about switch out every thing electronic that got hit i can tell u this u start that car with the ecu-ecm thats in there now you could fuck up ur engine see the ecu-ecm manages jut bout every thing on your car from your fule injection and all that shit that could b your problem right there that your ecu-ecm is messed up to get anither 1 is like 50 bucks at the junk yard i deal through if you want i can give you my info ang get u 1 and mail it out to yuo and ill tell u this rip out your whole sound system cuz the water may have grounded it out and is shorting somewhere

[accord_racer90]

u gota find out what the decamal ratinbg is for your township im fightin 4 difrent townships cuz of that same problem i just threw a silencer on there so i get my 500 bucks back

[accord_racer90]

and ur check engine is on cuz the water probabley messed up the catalitic converter on your car
