sounds like something has blown out of intake manifold. Maybe from head to manifold the water pickup in the head

I didn't have any water, but I had a similar problem when the diaphram in the brake booster let go, I had to push real hard on the brake pedal to slow down, my revs would increase as I slowed, but once I took my foot off the brake, I had some idle issues. It could be as simple as the vacuum hose on the booster. Just a thought.

Rob did the car lose water or just dew? may be something as simple as the brake booster hose collapsing inside losing vacuum
