And guess what. I let it dry off. started it drove to work. all good, went to come home from work, started "shooting ducks" under load. got it home (barely) and now it wont start. im just trying to comfirm that im a dork and my opti is now hosed (no pun intended) . anyone have any luck with just disassembling the opti and drying it out? my opti/car is fairly low milage.

 

might have better luck just replacing it if it got really wet

 

Try your ignition coil, see if youre getting spark from that first....i just went through that and my coil was bad, thanks to many people on here i got my car running again yesterday.
My car wouldnt start after it got wet, and it turned out the coil was shot, and the wire from the coil to opti was corroded...its worth a shot before you take it all apart to get to opti!
Good Luck
