So about 3 weeks ago there was a huge storm and my custom CAI sucked up water and hydrolocked my car, being an idiot I just waited and then cranked the engine and finally got the car to start and drove back home. I preceded to change the oil, air filter, and spark plugs as soon as I got home. So 3 weeks later I'm concerened about the damage because before I was getting 300 miles a tank and now only 220. I don't hear any knocking and the engine isn't revving any different that before. I was wondering what yall think about it let me know. And yes i know I'm an idiot.

you didnt hydrolock your car
The air filter was drenched in water and the intake pipe was dripping as well...
You didn't hydrolock it if it started up again without you doing anything. When my buddy's hydrolocked, we towed it home, opened up the engine and shop vac'd all the water out, and he was lucky, cuz it did start again .. But that was after we sucked all the water out. In your case, I call shens if you just sat there for a while and it started again cuz the waters still in there ..
