If you have driven through water and the check engine light in your vehicle comes on, you should take your car to your mechanic. You will want to have your vehicle checked for any damage caused by the water.
Probably will find that the ignition (plugs, wires, etc) got wet and triggered a misfire code (P0300). Allow the system to dry thoroughly and when the system detects there is no misfire after a few drive cycles the check engine light will go out.

What is wrong when car seems to lurch like there's not enough gas getting through and it only happens at low speeds?
Assuming your driving is not to blame, and theres a fault with the car, then yes its likely to be a fuel problem. Check the engine management system on newer cars with your dealer. Check there's enough fuel in the tank! Check the fuel pumps and filters. A blocked filter will restrict the amount of fuel flow. Check the fuel injectors. If they are blocked with carbon, the engine will likely struggle.
