That was my first thought as well, but I've taken a power washer (at the
carwash, and I think on the low setting) to my engine, covering only the
intake tube, and had no trouble afterwards. When I changed my cap & rotor
last fall, I even found a clump of Jon's MUD inside there, and I wasn't
having any firing problems.
If you got water into something electronic (circuits), it may be permanently
toasted.
I'd definitely try un-adjusting the cable as well.
