2 foot puddle!
Check wiring harness near bottom of engine including O2 sensors, hope you didn't suck any water in to the intake!
MAF sensor could be wet. Remove it and clean it to get rid of crud.

I would have cleaned it first before replacing it.
Teh water may have left some dirt on the sensor. The sensor compares the outside air with the exhaust gases. If the outside gets dirty it will malfunction.
