Default WTF car running rough after rain.

Earlier today it was raining really hard. Some parts of the street had some pretty large puddles but not very deep. Well I was driving on the road and went through a few. The car was running fine after the fact and even when I got home before I shut her down. A couple of hours later I go to pick my brother up from school and it is running really rough and the check engine light is on and is flashing.

Now I could understand if I had a cold air intake but I have a short ram. Does anyone know what is making it do it? Also will leaving it running at idle help or do I need to be driving it?

Most likely it is water in the distributor like he said. But since you said the check eng light is flashing, I would check that out as well. (count the # of flashs long and short) and look it up
