Possible Hydrolock Issue - 02/23/14 03:29 AM
My idiot brother hydroplaned my sister's '01 Ford Sport Trak into a water-filled ditch Thursday night. I took a look at it today & couldn't detect water in the cylinders but the intake plenum was very wet so I used the shop vac on that. Tried to turn it over (with the starter) to see if water would shoot out of the cylinders but it doesn't move, sounds like a dead battery or bad starter. Checked the battery & it's good, no reason to suspect the starter. Does it sound like it's hydrolocked? Never had this issue before so any input would be welcomed.
