Another check engine light - Toyota Yaris Forums

I was at Golden Corral, and while I was there it rained pretty hard for 20 min. I finished eating, got on the car and when I pulled off the parking lot the car would not go over 20 mph and the check engine light started blinking. I was in the middle of the avenue and could not stop, so I put it in neutral and revved it a couple of times and it started accelerating, the same thing happened twice but then it started working normal. It was windy and the only thing coming to mind is that the alternator got wet, seems almost impossible since the water has to go thru the radiator. What do you guys think?
