So, i'm not too sure where to put this thread, but some help would be appreciated. The past few weeks here in chicago have been crazy as far as weather is concerned. I was going to a wedding today in some zero visibility fog and splashed into a pretty large puddle of water going about 10-15 mph (i do have a CAI w/o a diaphram). Soon after, while looking for a parking space, i applied the brakes and notived that the car was having difficulty stopping, the pedal traveld the normal height, but just refused to grab. I just figured that it was because of the wetness of the rotors/pads. I parked, and then returned about 3 hours later. It had not been raining at all, but the fog was definately still present.

Ok, here is where it gets kinda weird, I started the car and immediately noticed the CEL. The car ran normal so i decided to slowly drive out the parking lot. As i did so, i decided to check the brakes again, and the same thing, but a little worse, the brakes refused to grab. when it finally came to a stop, i pumped the brakes a few times, popped the hood to see if any brake fluid was missing, and there wasn't. i got back in the car, and the brakes seemingly returned to normal, but i think i still feel the brakes don't grab (it could be in my mind at this point).

Finally, a buddy of mine and i just scanned the CEL code and got P0606, PCM failure. I highly doubt these two occurences are related, but its just kinda odd that they would happen at the same time. We cleared the code, and i have yet to drive it seeing as its 4:45 in the morning. Any thoughts guys and gals??
