Default Broken Lightning HELP!

lol well today i needed a truck to load up a cherry picker to hoist my 351W into my truck. I decided to borrow my buddy's Lightning (Big Mistake)

I put some gas in it (Premium of course) and i am off, I am going down my road when i hit a puddle (not even a big one) and get to my house. I am awaiting a call back on what tiem i can get the cherry picker when i decide to have his truck washed because when i hit the puddle it got dirty water all over it. I get back from washing it still not problem and then i go to ace hardware for some bolts. Now this entire time i have NOT beaton on the truck cause there was to much traffic anyway
I come out of ace hardware hop in it start it up SERVICE ENGINE SOON light comes on i say to myself w t f mate.... So i throw it in gear and pull out of parking lot and the truck refuses to make boost and hold it. Once you get to 5lbs it goes into vacuum.... and jerks real intense when giving it throttle at 50mph area. The boost sound is completely different to... When the truck is in park it will rev fast and not hesitate at all but when driving is hesitates and is jerky...

Is it bad gas?
The puddle?

This sucks
Derek



How much is this going to cost me to fix anyone have any ideas?

I was going to have that done tomorrow, I am not tech but is it possible i got a coil pack wet and fried it? I am pretty sure that the packs have nothing to do with boost but anyone know better?

when a coil pack gets wet and fries, usually you'll have a dead miss.

boost bypass activated maybe? Lightnings also have a problem with the line on one of the pumps falling off, causing jerking when going into boost.....

Check you plugs, COP's and fuel filter...

Lastly, does it have a chip in it?

Take the chip out and see if it has the same issues... The chip may have worked its way loose, or have bad connection... It's rare but I have heard of it happening...
