Make sure that the "bail" on the coil connectors is snapped over the "tooth" on the coil(s) or you will have cylinder missing/check engine problems.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Earlier this week I woke up to rain in the High Desert. It was a doozie down below in the LA area. One place even got 5", which was a record since the early 1900's (for Sept). Anyway, I know my C4S P-car loves the rain so I was ready to roll to work. It wasn't very long until it started missing and I got the check engine line and to drive to the mechanic. The more I tried to add power, the more it missed.
I pulled over and talk to my Indy (he gave me his cell number). He calmed me down and said that I had a little water on the electrics and it would be OK. I trust his judgement explicitly. I pulled over, waited a few minutes (did my email on my iphone) and "voila" it started and the check engine light was gone. It ran fine. This happened before when I went through the COSTCO car wash and the same results. So my question is, what do I do to fix it?

If you are going to DIY get these tools.
Kobalt 24 piece kit 099198852324
and
KD 61740 spark plug service kit.
It will make things much easier. I was able to do mine jacked up ~2 ft, wheels off, with the mufflers on. Make sure that the "bail" on the coil connectors is snapped over the "tooth" on the coil(s) or you will have cylinder missing/check engine problems.
Found these on Amazon. $199 for a 6 pack of Napol coils.
Are they usable?

I will have my Indy replace them but these are the cheapest by far that I've found.
