    So I just went through this deep puddle and got water in my intake/motor and I drove it to my local napa and got new air filter and it was running rough now it's better. I checked the oil not milky but I'm still puting new oil what else should I do and look out for.

    Thanks for any help.

    Oil change is about all you can do.
    Running rough could just be wet connectors or electronics, particularly the high voltage system.
    Should be running better when it dries out Wednesday.

    Did you do the rear differential breather mod? If not you might want to change out the fluid depending on how deep the puddle was.

    Why risk a diff?

    But probably not if you went through it quickly

    Okay so this morning engine light went on and then today I change the oil and oil filter and the change the air filter/ cleaned my mass air flow sensor. Then my friend has a good ob2 computer and we hooked it up and now my o2 sensors arent reading I guess there either plugged up or the water fucked them up. How much do o2 sensors go for?

    You should try adding a quart of ATF to the motor oil and let it idle for about 10 minutes. ATF has a lot of detergents and breaks down water well. Do that, then change your oil and filter again. Remember, water doesn't compress very well in an engine lol. You're lucky that you didn't hydro-lock the engine.

    Oh, and your O2 sensors are probably shot as well.

    Tell me about it it's be couple weeks I've been checking the oil and everything. Haven't got any random pinging or knocks from the motor and now the only really damage is those sensors.
