Default Water Vs. D16z6: Uh oh....

Alright so this morning, thanks to the out of place storms of Georgia, I ended up driving through a flooded little ditch that I couldn't see because my windows had been fogged to all hell. As soon as I drove through it, like three seconds later my car died out and I rolled to a stop. =\ Waited a minute, tried cranking it then it wouldn't so I let it roll ALL The way back down the hill, BACK through the puddle since it wasn't on, and onto my road again. Cranked it, and it started right up. The only thing is that there was a shat load of smoke coming out of the back and it was mad white. Parked it, remote started it and went to work.

Came back like half an hour ago and started it up and there's smoke coming out but it's faint and I can smell gas. The car idles fine, right around 1000 like it always has been. No sputtering, no nothing. It's actually running right now, it just smokes....

Any suggestions?
