Default Intake + water = bad

I got a check engine light on in my car. I ran into some problems when i stopped in a water puddle at the bottom of a driveway and drove off. My intake seemed to pick up a little bit of water. It sounded all garggled and messed up but now it seems back to normal. The check engine light is still on though. Nothing seems out of place, not even a wierd smell. What do you think i should do?

You don't need to take off the intake manifold at this point. :a:
And we're of no use to you without the error code(s).

What you need to do is retrieve the Check Engine Light "code".

This post will tell you how to retrieve them.

Report back to us with the codes when you have them.
Use this thread to do so.
