Went through big puddle ROUGH idle HELP
Hey whats up? I was driving through maybe a foot to 1.1 ft of water tops, then the car started to limp, still raining I got to my destination, and did what i had to do for about 3 hours. Turned the car on it felt fine, about a mile away, I couldnt rev past around 3k rpm. I noticed my air filter had some water in it, but it wasnt soaked. When I pulled over I noticed my cats red hot. My buddy said its running a very rich condition. '93 5 sp,no water in dist cap, cleaned it. Car never threw a service engine light yet. limped her back home a couple miles. Still idling rough,and lunging acceleration. Anything I should pull off and make sure it doesnt have water in it??

well started with the maf looked good. I then removed the rear spark plug boots and found a pool of water in the back. so i vacuumed it out. then blew it out with air. its still gross and oily and water drippy so I plan on doing plugs, wires and valve cover gasket next weekend and clean everything up. the cars power came back. idles much better but not perfect
