    in serious need of help(broken down out of town)

    ok so im in st. louis in the cb, and in a serious storm water got under the carpet of my car, and im assuming fried my ecu. the connector plug is wet, so i have to believe thats the cause for the cars condition. yesterday, when i got into town the car was running like normal, then i shut the car off and went into the grocery store. i came out and the car was reluctant to starting, and when it did start was acting strange. so today i started the car, and again it was hard starting and acted strange for a while, and then it started to idle straight and everything seemed normal. out of curiosity i called my dad to see if he had any ideas, he asked me to start the car so he could hear it and the car wont start. pulling up the carpet in the front i saw that it was soaked and im assuming my ecu took a shit. i dunno if anyone is in the stl area on here but if someone is i would really appreciate any help, or if someone has a spare ecu that i could try and see if it fixes the issue. either that or a location to a good local junkyard to buy an ecu. thanks in advance.

                            damn Chris that shit sucks. I don't think he had any holes in his firewall...atleast none that were open.not sure where the water could have gotten in from. I know my car got water when it was parked on the street and the drain was backed up, so the water had risen up past the bottom of the door.
