VTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCHCHHHHHCH!!!one!1!!!leleven!!

Anyways, I hope water didn't get into your intake if you had a open cone.And I hope water didn't get into your spark plug holes. Water doesn't compress and combust. Also, you may have gotten water into some of the engine bay wiring. And check oil?

Think about it, something you did made this happen. It worked before you did something and now it doesn't. Go over what you did.
