I would like to help you get your car running. Please tell me everything you can about how it acted before it stopped running. What kind of driving conditions its under? what mileage it has on it? How often maintainance is performed? Does it turn over bet not start or does it do nothing when you try to start it? What if any warning lights are lit up? Has a mechanic checked the trouble codes and what are they? Tell me anything and everything, the more I know the easier it will be to diagnose.

I Know the Answer!

Water really can't get into the head through the air filter. You may have had water in some gas you purchased. But moisture in the combustion chambers would cause it to run poorly and idle roughly. It would take a substantial amount of water to overcome the combustion process completely. I don't think this is the cause of why your engine is not starting.

If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
