halfway up the wheels or so, but flowing and splashing No 107000 Looks like I may have to. Fresh rain. Thanks again for your time and input.

Two days ago, I drove my '98 Legacy L through a flooded street (unavoidable). Within a mile or so, the check engine light came on and the engine began to sputter. Accelerating from a stop became difficult. Since that time, the engine has begun to sputter less and the acceleration has improved, but not to the point of normal. 1) Can anybody offer any suggestions for a fix? 2) Will the fix reset the check engine light and, if not, is there a way to do that at home? (We had the knock sensor replaced two years ago and I seem to recall the check engine reset procedure was complicated.) Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the replies!!

We just replaced the knock sensor on our 98 Legacy, after failing an AZ emissions test. Our Subaru certified mechanic told us that, before returning for retesting, we needed to drive the Legacy for 25-30 miles, so that the OBD computer would reset. We drove 150 miles, but when we returned to the emissions testing site, we were informed that the computer had not yet reset. Our mechanic now advises us to put on some highway miles at 60+mph. We don't want to return to the emissions center without some confidence that our car is ready for inspection. Any advice on how to drive the car so that the computer is reset? Thanks in advance.
