    Car is sssstuddering. Help!

    (92' Ex Auto)
    Ok, here's the story....I let my dad take my car to work the other day cuz it was raining heavy and he didn't want to ride his motorcycle. It was raining heavy and alot that morning he said he ran through some water on the highway deep enough that he said he thought it started hydroplaining a bit. He came home and said it started ackting like it had a fouled plug when he left work. The next day I was on my way to work just about to get off the highway and the car starts actin a fool, it was kinda studdering like it was about to run out of gas or something, but I had enough gas and that wasn't the case. Now it's still doing it sometimes right off the bat, sometimes after a few miles. I figure something got wet. I just replaced the distributer cap and rotor and same problem. Now should I go ahead and do the plugs and wires or could it possible be something to do with the fuel system, like the pump or filter? Any suggestions?

    I would go ahead and check the plugs and wires. Its possible you got some water in there.

      sounds to me like a tune-up problem whens the last tiem youve tuned it? Perhaps you got water in it how high was the water you ran over.

        Do you have a cold air intake? You might've sucked yourself some nice cool water to pit your valve seals.

          Last tune up was close to a year ago. Who deep the water was I don't know. My dad said it was deep enough to lift the car up. I don't have cold air just the short ram.

            Short ram or cold air, if you got water up to that filter, it's gonna suck it right in. I'd get a compression test done.
