deep water = check engine light 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be bills on  Mon Jul 9 12:45 CST 2007 [RELATED]

I got caught in a flash flood today and had to drive through some water (i'd guess 6-8 inches). afterwards, the check the engine light started to flash, and the car felt like it was misfiring. then, the check engine light went solid, and the car started to feel better. I quickly pulled over and parked (i was within walking distance of my house). The car starts back up fine, the idle is a little rough, and the check engine light is on. What's the diagnosis? Should I just let the car sit and dry out or should I run it? Thanks.
