i got a 2005 honda accord 2.4l...it was running fine till i hit the streets at night and got into flooded streets (car is lowered) after getting home that night the car was fine..when i went to start it in the morning its idling low at cold start around 600-700 rpms and after it warms up just stalls more and dies off.. What can it be? maybe a wet sensor?

You're welcome.

Not likely to be. Squeaking noises are mostly due to lack of lubricants and the clutch rrelease bearing lever is one of the most common cause. Check the slave cylinder push rod contact area with the lever and lubricate it if necessary. If noise is from within the transmission bell housing, that would be mosr difficult to handle as it is not easy to get lubricants to it. Excessive lubricants can contaminate the clutch disk.

Since you are there, have the crankshaft end seal replaced as well.
