I am stuck in florida and am 3 months pregnant. My husband is in Iraq and all iwant to do is get home. I hope someone out there can help me. I got caught in flood waters and the water was up to the doors. My grandpa changed the oil, filter and air filter in it and it does start and run, but it sounds awful. It heaves from side to side and is making a god awful chugging sound. Kinda like lop-ta-lop-ta-lop. I don't know what to do or if you have any idea what I can do I just know that I want and need to go home so bad right now back to upstate new york were we are stationed. Been down in this hell hole of a state for a week and my hubby is so pissed. Please. Please let me know hoow I can fix this myself if it's possible and thank you for any assistance. God bless

There is a product called "SEAFOAM" that you can get from many auto part stores. Pour about half the can into your engine, where you pour in the oil, run the engine for a couple of minutes and then change the oil. Put another can into the fuel tank. SEAFOAM has helped me almost the same problem. It will clean your engine very good and your fuel system also.
