Take apart all the electrical connection under the hood, clean em, dry
em, put a dab of dielectric grease on them, reassemble.

You've almost certainly got wet ignition stuff too, so pull the cap and
rotor and dry them, better yet replace them.  clean and gap plugs, clean
and treat plug/coil wires.  While the plugs are out, hopefully the
cylinders will dry out a bit (the gas I mean).
