Q: My car got somewhat flooded during Irma only on the left side because I managed to move it but unfortunately the computer was buil
During Irma the left side of my car was semi-flooded I was able to move it before it did any major damage or flooded the whole car, but unfortunately the computer was built-in underneath the drivers side so that sustained minor water damage. The only thing that happened was the text on my radio had flipped upside down and the sound wasn't working. After vacuuming the water out of the car the text returned back to normal but I'm still without sound which is a big issue for me. Wondering if this can be fixed or if I need to replace the whole radio and about how much it would cost.
My car has an automatic transmission.

When shifting it bogs down then rpm shoots up and bogs down again before returning to normal.
Is the engine "new" or "re-built"? If it is a used engine, check engine compression. Loss of power on acceleration can be due to plugged fuel injectors, faulty oxygen sensors, fuel pump and/or filter, vacuum leaks including that caused by...
