Pull the distributor cap off and dry it out, do the same with the TPS connector. check all the vacuum lines while you're there as they might have come loose with the water.

Pull the carpet up in the passengers footwell and check for water... just in case there is a leak from which got to the DME. Also verify the ground connection on the DME. This happened to my S2 when I tried to pick it up from the PO for the pre-purchase inspection. It turned out that the PO had washed some dust off the engine bay and battery box area. Drying out the DME and cleaning the ground fixed the problem. --Roy--

Check the spark plug holes for water. When I pressure sprayed my engine water would collect there. Because of the water the spark will jump to the head rather than ignite the gas, hence the rough idle.
