MPS Hydrolocked?
Car was filthy so I went to an Automatic car wash. For the first time ever I chose the "Under body" car program.
Turned car off after initial underbody program (cant stop through this phase, must slowly move untill inside) . Car started fine and off I drove. Car drove fine at part throttle but cut badly once I tried to build boost, threw a CEL also.
I babied the car home and checked the CAI to find some water inside, I proceeded to remove water as best possible and reset ecu. Once again the car started and drove fine untill I tried to get on boost and the same thing happened - Cut and CEL( building boost but low rpm , 3-3.5k?). I should mention the the maf was bit wet so I removed and cleaned with contact cleaner when removing the small amount of water in the " U " of the cai.
HELP
Could water be in the ETS TMIC also?? Surely the car would not start or run if hydrolocked?
