It could be the coil or many other things. Has your mechanic check the coil? Did he replace the plugs?

There was heavy raining tonight and I went through two deep puddles and my engine light started flashing. The light itself is always on because my threads are stripped in the first cylinder. And when I got home, I noticed it was smoking white slightly under the hood but still noticeably smoking. Anyway. I have been letting it rest for about thirty to forty five minutes, the smoking has stopped, but the idle is rough, acceleration is poor and slow and the light still flashes. Any ideas? Does it maybe just need to dry out?

Hello, I am Danny.

After the car has some time to dry under hood let us know if the symptoms persist. Have you had a chance to check the Check Engine Light codes? If you do not have access to a code reader your local auto parts stores will do the scan for free. Let us know what the codes are and we can begin the diagnosis. I have attached a tutorial showing what is involved with code reading. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
