You said the car started after this happened?

No, your ECU is not fried. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a car won't start without its ECU.

I left my ecu out in the rain for 2 days. I opened up the case on both sides and let it dry for a day. worked fine for years. I would let it dry out all the way first.
