sounds to me like either one of the fuel pumps is failing, or the dampness has caused a short in the fuel system somewhere. Have you been able to play with the car in dryer conditions yet?

I had driven about 35 highway miles in snow sleet and hail. I had gone about 1 mile off the highway. At a stop light the car stalled. I could start it but it would just barely chug along. I was able to start it after about 1/2 hr. The car then went 1/2 mile and died again. I filled the gas tank. The car did start but would just fade right down. After a while I got it to keep running at 3000 RPM. It would then idle. I drove another 30 highway miles got off at home and the same again. My first 2 thoughts were that it was wet, or the transfer pump is going. Any thoughts?
