Well, I was driving in the rain, hit a puddle and my car sucked in a lot of water.
Now the engine makes a crazy knocking noise but it starts and idles rough.
Help what can it be??
A valve or rod?
Thanks for the help..

Probably ruined the motor. I'd start with a compression test first.

if you sucked in water, it more than likely bent a rod, new motor, if you have full coverage insurance, they should cover it

bent rod, keep driving it and watch it shoot out the side.

I've done that before.... No fun....Especially when it happens on the freeway...

compression test, and check your valves, and rods
