Unscrew the airbox and see if the air filter is soaked with water. If it is your in trouble..

Also check to see if your coil became umplugged, these are all the things that could make your car die, cam shaft not moving, fuel pump, water in air filter and or intake manifold, spark plugs and wires, bad coil, blown fuse, bad cylndier compression, fuel line clogged, fuel line air bubble, bad igniton, wires got shorted from water, thats off the top of my head, good luck
