Default PLEASE HELP!!! CAR IS RUNNING LIKE $hiT DUE TO WATER!!!

ok, so heres wat happened, i was out with my car after a bad rain storm and saw a parking lot flooded with water( 8-10 inches) so i drive through it slow and think damn thats deep so my buddys say hey fly through that **** so ofcourse showoff me did, this puddle was prolly 20 yrds long and i was prolly doin 20mph though it, as i near the end the car starts dying out on me and i slow down and put it in 1st, at first it felt like the clutch wasnt grabbing then i realized it wasnt my clutch it was my motor. So i pull off to the side and try revving it a little and its sputterin like a bitch, ideling real low, prolly like 400rpm my dad says electrical , ne advice wuld be greatly appreciated

either what everyone else is saying (likely if you have an intake)

or you got water in your distributor and it's misfiring
