Drove in CRAZY rain, sat for 2 weeks, now low idle
 
Hey, quick question. 2 weeks ago i was stuck in TORRENTIAL downpours for like 2 hours on the way home, car seemed to be fine, hit boost fine, then i parked it for 2 weeks. I went to start it today, and it didnt wanna start at first, battery was strong, so i gave it a little gas and it started but idled really low, then died and did it 2 more time, now it idles like at 5-700 rpm but revs fine, but when i go to start it again, it idles REALLY low at first then gradually goes up to around 5-700. Plugs are black on the tip, but no deposits, compression is 95+ in both rotors. Any ideas?

im not really sure what the problem is.

in a way it sounds like a vac problem but on the other end it makes me think its ignition/fuel related.

im leaning twards starter or tps. but i honestly dont have a strait answer. do you have a PFC?

check for air restrictions. Kind of sounds like the air flow is being choked.

yes, i have a PFC. I dont think its the starter cause it cranks strong. im gunna put new plugs in tomorrow and then ill check the TPS ranges, maybe its out of wack or it got wet

do you have a pod filter or an airbox? check the filter and make sure it hasn't gotten filthy from being wet and road grime being sucked up into the folds

have a fighters garage intake. Ill check it out, maybe its a mess, but it seems unlikely cause i drive the car like 3000miles a year :) i definatly feel like the rain had something to do with this, because i NEVER drive it in the rain,and this was some of the worst rain ive ever seen, or maybe its just a coincidence
