Default 86 5k tqcs no start after heavy rains

I drove through some monsoon style rain tonight, for about 1.5 hours and all was well. After I got out the other end, the dash boost gauge was reading 0.0 almost all the time, but would still build boost if I laid into it.

It was almost like 0.0 was the new 1.0 but it couldn't show the negative numbers.


Anyway, I didn't think too much of it, but when I got home and shut it down it wouldn't restart. Cranks but no fire. Its getting fuel, haven't checked spark.

Any quick insight before I start digging tomorrow morning? I was thinking of starting by checking the water catch before the ECU MAP sensor.
