Radiator shop bled my radiator in the rain yesterday, and driving home I've noticed that the car idles weird when I slow down or park. I'm guessing that maybe water got to the plugs or something. Gonna get that checked in a bit.
Anyone got any other ideas?

I'm more wondering why they would bleed the radiator with the spark plugs out? Lol

Ok. I found the problem. Turns out the connector for the oxygen sensor was in a sad state due to age, somehow the water shorted the circuitry for said sensor. I changed the connector, cleared the error, and all is now just fine. 306 Estate Ph3
