Rain+Flooding+CAI= NO good

so with all this rain that we had yesterday. I was driving and hit a puddle (a small pond) and managed to make my car shut off. The car started right back up and came on with a check engine light. At stop signs and red lights the car stalled. When I was in motion the car was bogging. I went to my friends house and he checked my car with Scantool. The check engine light was due to a cylinder misfire. He turned the light off. The car has been running fine now since last night. Next issue, my HID's wouldn't come on, I guess the ballasts and what not got drenched. They have started to work again. My fog lights, the angel eyes stopped working. Why you ask, the bottom 1/4 of the lights is filled with water. Yup I could put a goldfish in each, that would be a head turner at car shows huh. The Fog lights do turn on. So much for the bypass valve that I purchased after the last time my car got a little too wet. I converted the CAI back to a short ram intake last night. The car seems to have gotten a little louder, and picked up a little more power. And to top it all off, my alarm that hasn't chirped for arm or disarm in a while, that begins to work after all the flooding.
