Ok so last friday i left my house. after 10mins of driving and the car got to normal temp the CEL came on. As soon as the light changed green i gave it gas to to across the intersection to have the code pulled. Well when i gave it gas it jerked really hard several times and almost felt and sounded like the engine was gonna blow up. i pulled to the nearest parking lot and shut the car off. After turning the car off and popping the hood my car stereo fuse was gone, my fuel pressure regulator hose was unplugged, there was a hole in the bottom of my carbon fiber hood, my main engine ground was cut from the V/C to the fender and my cruise control box was bent/moved. It looked like someone popped my hood and got pissed that they couldn't start my car(gotta love having 5 kill switches). the fuse for the stereo could have been an idiot that thought my alarm was a dis-abler to start the car and took it out. when the oil cap was taken out condensation came out, not oil smelling etc but like steam.
My main question is with the FPR unhooked it was at 42psi at idle and idling high around 1600rpm. If i ran the car for 20is miles with it being flooded like this could this cause damage to the motor over the long run, like 6mos to a year from now. also 2 days ago at idle i heard a noise that came from inside the head and it wasn't a valve tick, maybe a loose rocker but i doubt it. it did it for 15 mins and after killing the car for a while it stopped. i have not really driven it since but my insurance company is buying me a new carbon hood, type r V/C and carbon insert and any broken motor mounts. i am going to do my own research but all info will help (BAREFOOT WHERE ARE YOU!!!) if the insurance company is going to cover it then i need it done. they are already paying for a compression test and check the valve train, any other ideas folk. i have taken the oil cap off hot many times but have never seen a little steam come out. i use coolant and not water in the radiator if that answers anything. i cn post pics of where they got in etc if needed, thanks guys i need help for once.
Sorry for the book here but i need to cover all grounds. BTW i was not able to get the code it was reset before the car moved again.
REPS TO ANY GOOD ANSWERS!!!
