possible water in intake/engine??:(
i got some hoses that go from those 2 holes in the front of the camaro bumper upto a plate under the lid.
well, i ran into a big puddle of water and the car turned off on me.
so right away, i turned into a drive way. and turned the car back on, luckily for me, it did turn back on.
anyways, every now and then the car would stumble.
checked the code, said bank 1 lean. well i deleted the codes, got home and changed the driver side plugs only (said bank 1).
well, i go about half a mile to try it out, well the car stumbled hesistated REALLY BAD. so i got to a 4 way stop, car turned off on me.
so i get home. and pull the plugs. they are BLACK!! only on the car for about .5 mile 5-10 mins at the most.
what do i do?? what steps or what should i change/do to check out the problem?
i already did oil change
cleaned MAF
cleaned air filter
new oil filter
pulled plugs, plugs are going in tomorrow.
what else should i do/dont do to help get my car back up and running?
i am getting no codes on the SES light. i did for lean, but i deleted it and never back on. can it be 02s?
is my motor gone?!!?!?!?
its a 98 camaro with only 84k miles...

take your lid off and shine a flashlight inside the hole and see if there is water puddled in your intake. That's the first thing I would do. Plus, I'm sure the filter is soaking wet.
