When my rad. hose blew, and soaked my opti it died right were it happend. I tried to restart it, and it ran like crap. I was told that if i would have left it to dry for a day or two it might have been alright. I ended up changing it, because it would not run right even after a week.:mad:

check if you're getting an SES light

You have probably toasted your optispark. That's a classic example.

A few people have had success with letting their optis dry out. Unfortunately, these success stories were only with 95+ vented optis. You're pretty much screwed with a 93-94 non vented opti. My recommendation is you buy a new opti and do this:

Good Luck.
