Re: Hydrolocked Motor
It wasn't hydrolocked. If it was, either you were very, very lucky, stopped the engine just as the water got in and you removed the plugs to get rid of the water; or you bent/broke connecting rods (or pushed the head up to let the water out) and destroyed the engine. It wasn't the 2nd alternative, and it doesn't sound like like you did anything to purge water out of the cylinders, so most likely the water either blocked the air into the engine or the air flow sensor caused the fuel to shut off when water hit it.
Is there any chance that Ford actually programmed so water on air flow sensor shuts off the engine? That would be nice, but I doubt they had the foresight to do that.
