Default 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.
