Let it dry out and try it again, you were probably shorting out the coil to the block.

I 2nd that. The coil pack are prob worn down to start with so any little moisture that gets to them will prob cause your problem.

Try checking all the connections from the coils to the spark plugs.

while its running unplug each coil and see if it makes a diffrence, do this one at a time and the ones that cause a change are proly bad.

did you change fuel filters yet? Also, what about fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. 43psi set with vaccum line off. Also to get the water out get a wet/dry vaccum and suck out the water homie!
