Ah, the old water in the maf. Thats a good time. Pull the maf out, get yourself some electric motor cleaner, and have at it.

Just for ****s and giggles, I'd change the oil too. I doubt anything happened, but why not? If you notice that there was some water in the oil, you might throw some new plugs in too.

by the time i got to read this, the inside of the hood was already dried out, so i couldn't tell if there was water on the plugs or coil. i still havn't driven the car but i'm going to later to see how she runs. I'll get back to you in an hour or 2. Thanks for all the help.

If there was water in it, you'd know. Oil and water seperate. I think it's safe to assume you didn't do any damage.

i took my ranger through some big mud puddles and suck up a little water, it was running pretty ****ty and had the check engine light on. By the next day it was fine and the check engine light went away. Something was just wet but once it dries off its fine.
