Ï parked on a street that got flooded by a pretty severe rain in Miami, FL.
When I returned to get in the car, there was some water inside.
It started alright. I drove home OK, but when I got home (20 miles later), it stalled and died.
It starts alright but does not stay running too long. When idling, it dies.
When consistently accelerated at 2k rpms or more, it makes explosions thru the exhaust. (no fire, just sounds, very mild)

If anyone knows anything, please let me know.
Thanks!
 
Changing your oil would probably be a good idea.Then make sure the exhaust isn't full of water.Maybe change your fuel filter.
