Need Mechanic Advice for a 94 Camaro?

After the heavy rains and the huge water puddles that my lowered 94 Camaro went through,

the car is acting screwy.

I suspect water got into the distributor cap.

so i need advice on another symtom before i fork over my cash.

the engine rpm are higher than usaul when at idle.

when i shift into reverse the engine just dies.

is there perhaps another cause to the car dying or is the distributor cap the main suspect?

    Pull the cap and get it into good light so you can closely inspect the inside of it. It may just be damp and need to be dried out. However if it has small black tracks between the electrodes it is probably arcing and should be replaced. You could also have splashed water on a plug or two. A cracked plug will misfire and give you the same symptoms.
