Water in intake
depends on how much water. you need to start your car and run it up on some rpms. hope it didn't hydro lock on you. start it up and get some rpm for a minute or two. should clear up!

Yeah I took it to royal car wash and when I pulled up it was fine no lights and it was idleing fine. Then the dumbass at the car wash went to put it through the machine and he kept revving it. Then he came back and told me it was to low to go on the machine to go through the car wash so when I went to get in it to move it the car wouldn't idle and my ses light was on. When Ii popped the hood there was water just sitting on my intake.

I would take it somewhere and have them check it out and or fix it. Thenw take the bill to the manager of the car wash and say "Here ya go thanks to your moron employee". But I would tell them first then go get it fixed. They were jacking with your shyt if you had water all in there....not cool.

Umm, just going out on a limb here, but go rent a scan tool for two seconds. If you got water in the block, it would have burnt off by now. If you got too much water in the block, you would not be driving/starting it as it would be locked. You could have water on the MAS, you could have got something in the IAC, you could just have water in one of the fuel injector connector. Pull the code, get some compressed air and blow everything out, and check the connectors if you are still idling bad. Shouldn't be a big deal if the car is running.
There was someone else who had a problem after washing his engine. I want to say it was something to do with where the EGR bolts to the top of the intake. Check around there for any leaks.
