Haha you mean you're not supposed to drive through rivers? I have no idea how that much water got in there. It is supposed to rain here tonight. I'm paranoid now...

What?! Now that answers this question:
Is this possible? Water collecting inside the FMIC? So you've not driven through flood water? I know I haven't, but when washing my car I do spray around that area quite a bit to clean off bugs and whatnot.

I think it's the way the pipe is situated. I wonder if it's better for it to be flipped so water doesn't collect in the pipe. Perhaps replace the pipe with an Aeroduct hose? That's what Modshack used for the fang vent mod.
Wicks Aircraft Supply Then we can route the hose to the top so it doesn't collect water.

-Do you have all you undercar panels installed on the car ? -Are the fake vent removed or still in the bumper. although the fake vents will allow a direct air flow to air filters also they will do the same with rain as well . If all you undercar panels and the fake vents are on the car and still getting water in the system then you must not be paying attention to how deep the water you are driving in. Note the filter location/height in the pic I'm posting, the don't sit low enough to cause what you are experiencing, Unless you driving the car in some real extreme weather. Hope this help Sam |

Yup no fake vents. Under panel is also installed. It collected while the car was parked. There is no way I sucked up that much water from a puddle. I drove the car very briefly when the original CEL came on and I am very mindful of avoiding deep water. Good news is it is raining here tonight and I started/revved the car with no issue. Let's hope it was a freak occurrence! It still scares me though!
