This morning I drove to the coffee shop. When i tried to start my 1990 LS 400 to drive back home, it would not start. I managed to start it by pumping the gas pedal like it was carburated. It would not idle at all. In order to get home I had to keep the RPM`s abve 1200. Yesterday I did hose and clean the engine, if that matters. Anyone had this or a similar problem?

something electrical got messed up by the water.

if its the torque converter it would shutter on the highway, or it would stall when you try and put it into drive. Try this: drive straight and pop it into neutral and let it coast in N, if it stalls its most likely the torque converter.
