sucked in water
Going through some pretty big puddles yesterday I sucked in some water. It takes a while to start and will only stay running if I am on the throttle, once I let off and it drops rpm's it dies, any suggestions?

Are you sure you sucked water into the intake, or just got the engine compartment wet?

TPS, IAC, maybe CPS.....
Start unplugging them all and spraying the connectors out with contact cleaner.
