Default Puddle Trouble

I was driving to work today, and I ended up blocked in a flooded lane. I couldn't get all the way out of the lane, and ended up clipping this giant puddle. At first I thought I was pretty cool how big a splash I ended up making, but then my car started to crap out. It is now about 7 hours later, and I tried to fire up my car to run an errand, and its kind of sputtery and loud. I read a few posts about wet weather issues etc, but couldn't find anyone talking about this. I tried to Google it, and only found small bits of info. I'm not sure what might have happened, but its running poorly enough that I'm not sure I should be driving it.
No CEL or anything else came on.
Any advice or opinions would be great.

Wipe down the plug wires, coils, etc. You might need to pull the coils off and wipe down the ICM

If that doesn't get it, you can purchase a spray can of electrical contact cleaner with water displacement and focus on any electronic and/or ignition components in the engine bay.
