So I decided to follow a honda civic through a flooded road in my '93 850...dumb move, i know, i thought about it, and decided to do it anyway.
Long story short, car is dead. Pulled it out, got it to start. Towed it home due to soaked air filter, loud knocking. White smoke from exhaust (likely H2O).
Started it once more and drove it into garage.
Drained oil (was a milky brown color, almost like chocolate milk)...filled and drained 2 more times. Changed filter, filled oil. Took apart air box and vacuumed out any remaining water. Removed hose to engine body, this was dry. New air filter. Added dry gas to fuel tank. Pulled out spark plugs, appear to be OK.
Car is throwing code A6, 3-1-4 (typing from memory, but absent camshaft position sensor signal). Reset code. Code isn't reappearing, but car isn't starting.
Car is currently in garage, drying out.
Thoughts? Help?
I don't believe the engine seized, there wasn't a shudder or shake when it stalled. It just died, no smoke.
Thanks,
~Jon
