so i ran through a puddle and car stalled. had it towed and started taking it apart i replaced the opti part of the distributor, ect sensor, icm, and coil. after putting everything together it started up, however runs for 2 sec and shuts off....im guessing its running super rich since black smoke is coming out from exhaust, and the intake which is concerning me. im thinking spark timing could be off or timing of the chain..... im pulling a code for the maf so i unplugged it still the same and i know when u unplug the maf should go into a fail safe mode. so can someone please help me on what to do with some diagnostic aids or experienced advice...btw have spark and fuel pressure is good.

 

Possible you crossed the wires, left a wire unplugged? Did you replace the spark plugs and wires themselves?

Did you submerge the car and it started breathing water, therefor it stalled? Not being an ***, but how big was this puddle and how long was it running in the puddle for?

 

i replaced the plugs wires i did not...checked the wires to make sure they where in the correct clyinder order. also when i was driving going like 25mph there was a car next o mee so i went as far away from the puddle as i could so it was for about a second

 

Are you sure you plugged the coolant temp sensor back in, and are you sure you used the correct one?
