so i put the jeep underwater for 12 hours in an accident i had. i pulled it out. changed all oils twice and got all the water out of the intake and pistons and throttle body. when i hook up the battery the a/c is always on even if they key isn’t turned on. when i tried to turn it over it sounded very promising but i stopped before it started because i figured there was probably water in the gas keeping it from starting and didn’t want to do any damage. but when i turned the key off, the jeep was still trying to start so i disconnected the battery. i checked all of the fuses and they were all fine. could it be the computer is bad. or is it somehting else? i just want to at least get it running so i can sell it. what do you think i should do?
it was fresh water and i do intend on letting the buyer know what happened to the vehicle.

I have a 1997 Ford Expedition 4×4 (4.6L) that I am having some hesitation issues with, particularly when I am climbing a grade or in stop and go traffic. I will be cruising up a hill at 60 and all of a sudden it will act as if it is starving for fuel or has water in the gas, hesitating and shaking a little. If I just let off the gas and then back on it goes away, or if I floor it it goes away. If I leave my foot on the accelerator in that same position the hesitation will go on for about 6 or 7 seconds, then it will be fine.

I have a 91 toyota camry, has around 177000 miles on it. It tends to burn through the oil pretty quickly so I have to change it often. After changing it last week, it started sputtering when I hit the gas to try to get some speed. If you let it sit and run for a little while, I won’t have any problem with it, it’s only when you start it up and drive immediately. Thick white smoke comes out when you start it up. I thought it was water in the gas, so I filled it up with gas and put fuel cleaner in it. It still didn’t help so I changed the fuel filter, drained all the gas out, and filled it up again along with more fuel cleaner. It got a little better, but still isn’t running like it should. Can anyone give me any ideas?

How long the battery will last? My Toyota Sienna 2001 has 66,000 miles. One morning I started the engine. It won’t start right away. The weather was cold. Then I tried with a little gas on it. It started right away. Is there any harm on fuel injector? I never put any distilled water into the battery. Original battery says maintenance free. It is running good now. Any suggestion. I am curious.

Ok what i have done is:
Take a hybrid, or elctric car. Replace the car’s gas tank With 2 tanks
*2x tanks of water with built in heaters and freezers*
When The water will freeze, The energy will escape into the electric battery. This is because the molecules slow down, and the energy goes away. We capture the engery and put it into the battery. This will power the car’s electric engine.
We then heat the water back up to normal stage with the heaters. This will now move the molecules faster to create another source of energy. You will only have to pug in the car at first, then it can pretty much run forever like this!!

I am 30 years old and Don’t quite get it. Not ignorant, went to school for law,not science. So people of yahoo, Why does a car need Gas to run, why not water and why can’t they use something else to make a car go so that we are not so reliant on one particular natural resource? Thanks in advance.
Wow, appleJuice, your one smart guy, I like the sound of all that knowledge.
Great answer, I just wish they would look at the long one picture and not just the here and now.

My car was stolen from my driveway, the car was located the next day in a pond. Front body damage, smashed window glass, front tires flat, the front half was submerged but not completely over the engine and up to the cup holders inside. There is water in the oil and the gas cap was off so something probably happened there. The flat tires were completely bald so I am sure there is clutch damage. The insurance company is coming to get it and take it to a savage yard for assessment of the damages. Either it’s totaled or not but either way I am sure I will not get what it’s worth, it’s their business to make money. What can I do to be prepared? How do they determine the value? The car had upgraded stereo, exhaust, tint, iPod adapter, etc… All electronic equipment was stolen. It’s a 2000 Honda Civic EX coupe in excellent condition. Thanks for any help you can give.
I have looked at NADA, there is a resale, retail, trade-in, etc… Which one? You can’t buy that car in this area for what they have it listed. I have checked everywhere I can on-line and the same car is going for $1000 more than the NADA average.
I am not looking to get rich, I simply want to replace this car. Exhaust, no big deal it was only cosmetic, the ipod adapter was hardwired so the person who took the claim say they will consider it but not the iPod, which is understandable. The car was in excellent condition, EXCELLENT, no dings, no dents, new paint, no holes in interior, non-smoker, blah blah blah…. Thanks for the help you guys, this has shown me what to be prepare for and what to research.
