Ok guys, the last week or two it has been raining. Before it started raining my car was running fine. Now my car runs like ass and sounds like ass. I drove the car over a few puddles of water nothing major. Now my car is squeeking and I'm not talking about the belt squeeking when starting up the car but I mean literally squeeking from my front end. I cant pinpoint where its coming from but it sounds like a damn cricket is under my hood somewhere and it is pretty damn loud too and annoying as hell even at cruising speed and highspeed you can hear it. It doesnt squeek when the car is not in motion, it only squeek when the car is in motion and when you first start the car up and when the engine vibrates you can hear it for a brief second. Other symptons include, when I drive on a regular road or the highway and when I throw it in neutral the damn rpm stays at like 1.5k it doesnt drop down to 7 or 8 hundred rpms, before whenever I threw it in neutral it would always drop back down to 7 or 8 hundred maybe lower not sure. Also my car's suspension feels funny, like I dont have control of the car almost (only at highway speeds though). Whenever I go over bumpy/bad roads my car feels like its gonna lose control. My car also sounds funny. It sounds like a damn v8, now my friends think I have something sick under my hood, which I keep telling them that I dont and that something is wrong with my car but they dont believe me. Oh and my drivers side door decided to stop working on me and now I have to open the passenger side and open the door from the inside. I'm about to give up and take it to Satan. Please tell me whats wrong with my car. Sorry so long. Thanks!
 
Sounds either like you sucked up some water destroying your MAS, or something is ####ed up with your ECU. Try borrowing a friends MAS, as a faulty one will cause the car to idle all crummy like you said at "1500rpm"
 
Thanks, will try that out. One thing I forgot to mention is that whenever I put the heater on there is a really strong smell of gasoline, it doesnt go away after a few minutes either but the fume is there until the heater is shut off. Any ideas?
