Click to expand...

probably not but i'd be concerned about relays and other electronic stuff. it might be an idea to open any lectronics stuff and give if a blow job from a hair dryer. although there is a chance tha any leccy boxes that have got wet will be fooked

leccy box.. ecu and any thing that deals with that black magic known as electronics. even a damp spot in em can stop them working. if it bin submerged in water the joints might be gubbed. have you tried going straight from battery to starter incase its something simple like the strater circuit

no but I will. even if it does end up running should i CONSIDER PARTING IT and get another incase of future problems related to "the flood"
