   basically just went out quickly, drive through a puddle (deepish) splashed on bonnet, now engine in limp mode. idles fine and ISNT missfiring just wont rev above 2500 and is bouncing at them revs, in the morning gonna take sparks out and coils at home if its still doing it, see if there is some arcing or something going on at the coils. if not will get a tester on it at work.
   Has anyone else had this before? and ideas to point me in right direction to save me time in morning before work, thanks in advance
