Default Hit a puddle and car stalled
Hit a big puddle this morning in my 05 Malibu. I know there is no mass air flow sensor. The car starts but dies almost instantly. And ideas what this can be?

Default RE: Hit a puddle and car stalled
Bad coil or spark plug wires?

If there is a small crack in the coil or a bad wire, the water from the puddle would have caused the spark to jump to ground through the water instead of going to the spark plug
