Its usually something easier than resetting a ECU, just drying spark plug lead connections etc. I think the water repellent sprays use to be useful for this.

Yeah Clint, you probably just need to wait for it all to dry. Or go through it with a fine tooth comb with CRC etc.

And avoid using copious amounts of water in the engine bay next time.

i can understand running it till it hot switch off and then cleaning washing.
