My eclipse has the long intake that comes out under the bumper area and i hit a big puddle when it was raining bad.
The car for sure died out.
It started back up after like 30 seconds of cranking and it ran fine and everything.
After this happened the check engine light came on and if i am in drive at a stop light waiting for too long the rpms start dropping and the car wants to die out.
THe check engine light flashes.
If i give it a little tap on the gas the rpms go back up and its all fine.
The car seems to run fine other than that but it gets really annoying when you sitting there and it starts sputtering out.
i dont know if the alternator is finally going because when i have the turn signal on the check engine light dims and im subs in the back make the headlights look like strobes.
so im not sure if i messed something up or its electrical.
Any ideas on what this could be and how to fix it?
