Hey guys and gals, I got a question for ya, I was driving my S2000, the car's got a cold air intake system, and it was raining pretty hard, long story short, I was behind a car, and that car went through some pretty high standing water, and it was too late for me to swerve around it, and I ended up going through it as well, about 20 minutes later as I was driving, I attempted to shift around 6K rpm, and I felt the engine's power drop BIG TIME and saw a lot of smoke come from the exhaust.

Im letting the car sit idle for a good hour..any thoughts or recommendations, please chime in.

Water might had get in through the CAI, it should be ok just let it sit for an hour.

If it's been more than a hour, you can try to start the car, should be fine....

I've let it run... its still running, I put it in each gear and revved it up to about 7k rpm.. damn, Im just kinda worried.

The engine reacted like it was being punched in the gut when I was driving.
