93 Del Sol stalling out, advice needed!
OK I have a 1993 del sol(150 000km) with a jdm d15b vtec swapped into my car with about 45k and car is stock minus a short ram intake and never winter driven.
Anyways, when i hit a big puddle the car dies, it restarts about minute later. Ive checked the grounds and there all corroded and green. I think the spark plug wires are original with the swap and dizzy is newer. also plugs are newer. What do you guys think i should check? I'm going to change grounds and wires for sure. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks guys.

thinking from the ground up...
crank position sensor- i don't know if the D15B has one like the D16Y does, but if so have a look at that. if you're splash shield and/or timing cover are broken or missing this could be plausible.
primary O2- ECU looks at this for mixture adjustments. i suppose that could cause the engine to stall.
anything higher than that, you just need to stop crossing rivers.. haha.
i would maybe expect to see a CEL on if a sensor were shorting out though. maybe it is a grounding issue still. be sure you're dist. cap has it's little rubber o-ring seal. and maybe give the ignition a good tune up. couldn't hurt..
