it's still on that road. i called the tow company and they towed it to their shop.

basically, am i just screwed, or is there a possibilty that is can still be fixed?? i am a college student, so if "being fixed" mean's a whole new motor, then i'm just screwed...!

thanks for the help, i really app. it!
Depends on what exactly went wrong. Basically you sucked up some water through your intake from your story but what matters is how much and for how long, only way to know is when the shop checks out your motor. Don't expect everything to just work perfectly, but who knows!

This is why I'm installing a bypass valve on my CAI. I just got it all today, install is sometime this week =D
