Snow in Engine Bay

c6j9r · Dec 8, 2003

Car died today and when i popped the hood, i found snow in the engine bay. On the air filter, in my Translator box..and all on side intercooler. So basically im stuck in Providence, Rhode Island. The car starts, no problem, but after 3 seconds it will die out. Had it towed to the tow truck shop. Anyone know of any good mechanics in the area of Providence, by the college. Or if this area has a local dsm website?

I think my translator just got wet with snow. But i guess i will find out tomorrow.

Are you sure the filter isn't plugged?

what do you mean by that?
just covered in snow?

If the filter gets soaked in water it wont let any air through or it may have sucked water through the filter into the mas.

ohh well
i have the mas translator...and i didnt have the cover on it. so im guessing that is what my problem is...my mas is up by my throttle body...so i think its snow in the translator...even though the lights were lighting up on the translator
