hey, i have a 06 rsx type s and i put a cold air intake, injen, and about 3 days ago, i hit a puddle of water, and when i hit it my engine shut off. i turn it back on and the check engine light came on and had reduction in power. i went to auto zone and 2 codes came up, P2A00 and P1172. can anyone tell me what this means and also how i can fix it, if i can, or if this is something i need to go to a dealership or a mechaninc to get it fixex? thanks in advance guys. oh yeah, and is it ok if i drive the car around for a while?

P1172

Rotor control fault

dont know how to fix it

Smith bPr · 07-02-2007, 05:50 PM

P2A00 is the airfuel sensor. dealership should be able to reset it. but i dont think that will fix it. It may pop back on

This happened to me a while back. Water was in the motor and it needed 3 oil changes and had to clean the hell out of the head and the valve cover and the rest was burned off with the heat of the motor.

FAQ'd (again) for the people who think hydrolocking their motor with a CAI is a myth.

GradyDC5 · 07-05-2007, 05:17 PM

Yep, been there done that. Hydrolocked a GSR once just driving in a badass thunderstorm.
