how long did the car run after this little problem with the water it's sounds like to me that if you had a cold air intake that you may have sucked up some water and after time it has lock up the motor to test my theory jack the car up and try to turn the crank by hand

I would check your fuses and possibly your PCM
If your car has under 36,000 miles you can have it towed to the dealer for free no questions asked.
