hesitates and bogs down a little while idleing and while accelerating.

pull ur plugs and see if water got inside...i worked on a car b4 where i had to wash the engine bay afterwards and after road testing the car it just suddenly died and 2 codes showed up for cam sensor..i just ran it all day, cleared the code and it didnt come back...some water might have gotten in somewhere b4 u could dry it off and just slowly seep thru somewhere
