I was driving on 95 today really slow because it was pouring, my car started to drop in rpms like it was going to stall, i didnt notice any big puddles but i got scared so i turned off the car immediately. It starts back up and everything and drives likes its normal, I was getting home and went over like 4000 rpm and it sounded like the car was missing a little bit, What can I do to make sure theres no water in the engine just incase there is. The car idles 100% fine and drives fine, I just dont want to go over 4000 rpm and risk hurting something. What should i do? and yes i have a cold air intake
 
sounds like a problem with your coil pack. if the engine still starts and drives there is a 99.9% chance that you dont have any water in the engine and if you did it has long since been boiled out check to see that you coils/wires are in good shape.
