it started a week ago my wife said she went though some water covering the road real slow, and went on to work, when she got off to go home that's when it started.

I don't think you have a carburettor. You must be refering to the throttle body.
Are there any abnormal engine noises?
What is the idling speed?
Any changes in idling speed when A/C is turned on?

The idling speed should be stable at 700-800 rpm when at operating temperature. When A/c is turned on, it should maintain the same rpm.

If the rpm wanders at idle, it can mean the valve needs adjustment.

car idle at a stable 800 rpm and hold a 800 rpm when ac turn on could it be the catalast converter sense she went though the water ?

Not likely. I would still suggest checking the valve clearances.
