Topic: sank truck, wont idle or run right now?

[signguy]

so... i got stuck in my truck in deep water, the engine was mostly under water, but not completely. the cab was half full, the computer was under (its a 92 22re pickup), we pulled it out and it started right up. i ran it only for a few seconds to get it on the trailer and it seemed fine. i let it dry out all day today and tried to drive it and it was OK a first but got bad within a few minutes... wont idle or stay running. the check engine light blinks 2 times, then pauses, then once more. WTF??? i need to fix it, its my DD

Next time you do that, pull the spark plugs and crank the motor over. You risk serious engine damage. Change the engine oil, transmission, transfer case, and diff oil.

beat me to it.

i learned the spark plug trick when i swamped and hydro-locked my jetski.  it looks cool when its coming out the spark plug holes. lol but im never doing that again...

He changed all fluids right after we got it home. No water got into the oil and it didnt suck water, luckily.
