Went over speed bump and engine died...
I tried to crank it up a few times and failed. I waited a few minutes and it cranked right up. Then I went through a few huge puddles (it was raining quite heavily) and it cut off going through one. Again, I tried to start it up and it wouldn't. Now I'm stumped and stuck.

But died going over a bump? Well now, that's a new one for me...
As far as dieing going over a bump, I would think that means a bad connection on either your battery or coil. Both would be easy to test and fix. Dieing when going through a large puddle usually points to the optispark. I haven't had trouble with this before but have read of it happening often enough.

I fouled up going in a deep puddle too... but the water shorted out my MAF unit.... and caused my car to die... Didn't act right till I cleaned it off...then she started right up... check that...
Well, it ended up starting right back up. I guess something just needed to dry off. I don't have a cold air intake, its the factory one. I agree with the optispark idea because when I went through another puddle/bump, it tried to stall again, but I stayed on the gas and it came back to life.
I'm wondering if a mount has anything to do with this. One of my mounts is bad, but I can't figure out wich one. I get a clunking coming from right under my feet to the right. When I go over any bumps its more of a rattle.
