That is the way mine ran when I got water in the air cleaner, it screwed up the AFM that is on top of the air cleaner box. Fix, get a different one!!!

Cant help with the motor, but if he cant get it started and needs a tow to the dealer I can help for a little fee. I'm about an hour away.

Sounds like you hydroplaned the motor, any time water is coming in your doors,it's bad news. Get/build a snorkel

That happened to me at Hollister once... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
Luckily, the motor died before water got into the combustion chamber. I didn't even attempt to crank it over before taking out the spark plugs and turning it over.
Clean out the AFM ASAP or it will corrode.

Where is the ECM on the 3.o trucks? Things get wacky when they get wet...
If Mad Max had a 4runner...
