water in the dizzy cap is most likely. When you spray the car next time, put a plastic bag on the intake filter and the dizzy.

There's probably condensate in the dist. cap and the spark plug may have gotten wet as well, Dry those off and give her a solid run you should be back on track.
Next time, do what I did, cover the dist., remove all the spark plug wires, I got some rubber bungs that they put on the tips of some furniture that fit PERFECTLY at the top of the spark plug tube, use those to seal off the chamber, wash your engine then blow dry with compressed air, heck even a shop-vac with the hose attached to the blowout end would work.
Check your dist rotor for any oxidation as a result, you may have to change it and the cap.

This happened to my brother's DA, and we did this and it worked perfectly.
