You may have damaged the O2 sensor. Retrieve the code that has been set and that will tell you where to start looking for the problem.

What kind of damage can water in the engine cause From driving through deep puddles as my engine is now misfiring on a 2004 GMC Sierra six cylinder 4.3 Vortec Engine?

Well....Seeing how this happened to me a month ago I'll give you a heads up. Worst case you could've bent a connecting rod (Hydraulic Lock-Up), or maybe sucked enough water (mists of water) through the air intake to thin out the oil to a point where you spun a bearing, or you even could've bent a valve. BUT... Driving through puddles isn't a big deal. Calling roadside assistants from the middle of a river is.

Why does your ford windstar 2003 blow hot air when idling and cold air when driving?

Could be a number of reasons for this condition. I would check the coolant level. A low coolant level could cause your heater to blow cold air when the engine is warm. Is the engine warm? If the engine is fluctuating temp it could be a faulty thermostat. Hope this helps.
