Default Possible hyrolock?

Hi I have a 97 ford Taurus and I was driving and I was going 50 and hit some pretty big puddles and when I got done going through them I got a block away and my car died I tried it a few times and it cranked and wanted to run so I waited it out for 10-15 mins checked the intake and it had a little water in it and the filter was wet but I tried it anyway and it started I drove it home and it drove fine now I started it ran rough gave it has then was fine tried it later and started and idled normal and everything (oil dip stick looked like it had no water on it) and now I'm just worried is it fine?

Just make sure the oil & filter and air filter get changed. As the engine dries off it will usually be OK as long as no water got sucked into the engine.
Moist air does go in during rainy days !
Check your trans for possible water ingestion, if the trans fluid looks soupy get it changed ASAP.
