If you can before the insurance people look at it.
Put the original intake stuff back on.
Just say you drove though a lot of water one day and it did this to it.
Even though it's water damage your insurance may not cover it, if
it's something that you did that they did not know.
Some insurance companies maybe a pain in the ass about aftermarket stuff.

So your car was flooded above the doors and you tried to drive it out? Doesn't sound like an AEM problem to me. Sorry for your problem anyway.
BTW, if you try and scam the insurance company, they will know (assuming your car was in a flood.)

1. Remove the AEM and put it back to stock.
2. Erase this post. It's known that Honda Dealers surf through this forum and if they see this... Not good!

Driving through a deep puddle can splash water onto the electrical system causing the car to stall. Trying to restart it will usually foul the plugs permanently requiring you to clean the old plugs or install the new plugs. I don't know if the S2000 has this susceptibility because there is no distributor.

What you should do is
1 check the oil for signs of water or moisture, hopefully none
2 pull the plugs and look for signs of water, hopefully dry
3 crank motor without plugs to confirm the starter didnt ground out while underwater causing the no crank condition
HOWEVER
listen for strange sounds while cranking that may indicate something is wrong if you think you hear something STOP CRANKING as a bent valve may only cost a head but if the piston hits the valve things get real bad real quick
4 finally, as much as it sucks Take it like a MAN! be honest with your insurance co because if they can prove you changed things you could wind up with no car and lots of problems
