2001. V70. Drove through water
I got caught in a rainstorm late tonight and ended up driving my 2001 V70 through some unexpectedly high water. The car stalled out, but started up again after a moment. I was able to drive it home -- thankfully I was close. The only thing I noticed different is that the engine seems to stutter and lag when I'm going up an incline. I haven't driven it again and an trying to figure out how much, how serious, and what kind of damage I may have done, as well as whether there is anything a layman can do about it before I can get it to a shop on Monday. Thanks!

There are quite afew low lying connectors on the car. Some of these are knock sensors near front crossmember, O2 sensors on the driver's side near the firewall, and ETM connector near front crossmember.
I would begin by pulling apart every low lying connector and blowing dry with either compressed air or a hair dryer.
