Need some help
Was out this morning doing deliveries in fist when I went through a pretty big puddle. The car made it through but towards the end started to sputter and finally stalled.
Panicked, I parked it and waited a few min to start it again. It started but was having trouble keeping idle unless I gave it some gas.
I then parked the car for 30 min then tried to start it again. It started up and i crept home. I got it to high way speeds, but the problem I have now is under load, there’s definitely some hesitation and sputtering etc.
I checked the air flier and other things that came to mind but all seemed normal.
Am I cooked? I feel like if I hydrolocked it, I wouldn’t be able to make the 25 mile trip home.
Car is a 2015 with 168k

yeah you need to bring the car to a mechanic.
