Check the distributor seal and make sure there is no water in the distributor. If there is, dry it out and try to start it... if it starts, get a new distributor seal. If it doesn't, check your plugs.

Sticky please. kthxbye.

Same thing happened to me, because i had a custom air intake that took the air from the bottom of the car. When I hit a big puddle, the car would stall and then not start for awhile. This shouldnt be the case with stock stuff, but just a thought.
