Sad to say that you have probably written your car off going through puddles of that magnitude 8O not really.. See how it runs tomorrow if its all dried off.

As for a good mechanic

Does it get better after its warmed up & dried out?
Listen to it. 30000+ volts makes a snaping/cracking sound if its jumping someplace.
Look at it. Dark/nighttime/shade there shouldn't be anything lighting up.
Touch it. At your own pearl, it won't kill you or hurt bad unless you smack your head/hand on something when recoiling from the shock. :lol:

Id unplug every electrical connection thats easy to get at and blow the terminals out with compressed air. Also take the leads off the spark plugs, check there is no water down inside.
