Complicated

was your exhaust under water?

the lower part of the hearders and most of the y-pipe was

Complicated

But not the exhaust outlet, the tip of the tailpipe?
If it was it is possible that water entered and is trapped in the muffler maybe. If the water went high enough it is possible that it made it over the axle through the bend.
I am not sure that this is the cause but water in your exhaust, might cause such a problem.

Also maybe the Crank Sensor, that would effect the idle and throw a code.
It is located near the balancer I believe.

THATS WHAT IM HOPING IT IS ...AS FAR AS THE CRANK SENSOR I GUESS IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY BUT NOT LIKELY ABOUT THE WATER IN MY EXHAUST CAUSE I HAVE A LOUDMOUTH STRAIGHT THROUGH EXHAUST NO MUFFLER

THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK GUYS ANY OTHER FEEDBACK WELCOME

Yeah the water probably got in the conector and fried them I have had it happen to a few people before I'd change them and see what happens. Ofcourse a Tech2 could tell you what was causing it for sure if you know someone with one.

Listen brother.. the same thing happened to me, it ended up being my Fuel pump relay.. shorting out... also, my wiring harness ( drivers side) was saturated with water. took the wire loom off and dried everthing off... the F/P relay was shorting out.. also the wiring to the fuel pump itself was wet...

Worth a try...
