During a recent flash flood, lots of cars here were stalled on the streets.
A friend of mine just finished replacing a stabilizer pin, timing belt, other belt, and who knows what else. The car won't start, and the shop and insurance people say to throw it away. He says it won't crank properly, but I haven't heard it myself.
My only personal experience was with hydro-lock, but not from flooding. I can't believe a 4' deep puddle would flood the engine intake.
Any ideas of what to look at next?
