Default water in my ecu, now its fucked

so like an -------, i left the top off my car again at night, assuming it wasnt going to rain because of the clear sky. Well, it did, and i also didnt realize that the ecu was open on the pass side floor. So i got halfway down the street and it shut off. Do you think anything else is beat besides the ecu?

haha a friend drove his rex threw a 2 foot puddle after a really really hard rain and water logged the motor killing it. it still runs but it must have damaged the rings or something cuz its never been the same after that, lots slower. but like a dumbass he opened the door and let two feet of water in the car. fried the ecuador with a quickness, not to mention popped like every under dash fuse he had. he just ordered a june racing (gay ebay ----) ecuador and replaced the fuses and called it a day.

Sometimes you can be lucky and get away with it. I have gotten water twice in my ostrich when I had it, and it would just kill the car. Just let it dry and try it.

Once I grabbed a few free apple computers that sat outside for a month, and after they dried, they worked perfect.

Give it a try. Anything is possible.

Good luck with the sol.
