hey so I was going home from work in one of the worst storms ever (streets were flooded and everything) and I think I got some water in my engine (everywhere)... anyways I got home and parked and everything was good until I tried to start it up again.

At first, it started, but ran at a higher idle and then died. it seemed like everytime I opened the throttle up it would die out.....

What could be the problem?

 

UPDATE: my ecu is blinking code 5... so I busted my map sensor ( code 5 is usually mechanical right?) how would this have broken because of waterlogging?

also where can I get the sensor/ hose for this???


EDIT:

fixed it just follow the faq

Code 5 - MAP Sensor

Usually means there is something wrong with the hose.

When the MAP voltage is too high (indicating vacuum is lower then normal) the problem is rarely a faulty sensor, but in fact a problem with the engine itself

incorrect cam timming
incorrect iginition timming
restricted exhaust
excessively worn engine or leacking valves
