yota wont stay running

Ok, I went mudding with some friends again, and I had a blast. We went to this new area that we havnt been to before ( I had for fishing though) and theres lots of ruts and small holes with water and mud to go through.


Well right before we leave my friend told me to go through this big puddle. I was like...."ลลลล no!" He finally persuaded me to let him do it, I let him and he did it twice succesfully. I attempted it and I made it through too.

But when I got out and stopped on dry ground my truck started to idle weird, and now if I let off the gas itll die. It will start right back up, but dies if no throttle is applied.

Whats the deal?

Vacuum leak? Maybe you knocked an old hose out of place?

I agree, check for a broken vaccuum hose. Also check for broken wires. Maybe your air filter got soaked or water got in your distributor. There is also a chance that something got in a belt driven accessory, like an alternator, and is creating a lot of resistance against your engine. Does it still have power while driving?

I would also vote for the distributor being wet. make sure it is dry take the cap off and completely dry it on the inside, also make sure the plugs are dry.
