we had a storm last night that dropped alot of water in a short period of time. i hit a puddle of water going about 55. it broke my headlight bulb but i think i sucked up some water. its hesitating when accelerating but there isn't any water in the oil and the air filter isn't wet what else should i check?

 

remove your spark plug wires totally (make sure you label them so you know that you put them back on in the correct firing order), also remove spark plugs, distributor cap, and inspect it all for moisture. Check your plugs to see if they need replacement as well. If your distributor cap and rotor are worn, replace them.

Is your oil level any higher then normal?

 

no the oil level is still topped off from when i replaced it less than 100 miles ago.

 

Drive it with caution and give it a few days to dry out. I did that once. Drove in second gear at 60mph on the highway. Got rid of the water but could have blown my engine.

 

i changed the spark plugs and wires and its running fine again.
