You need a code reader to find what the CEL is - we cannot diagnose it over the internet.

Okay, so if you totally soaked the engine bay and now you aren't stalling anymore, then I would do the reset again(the twenty brake pump) and hopefully the CEL will now go away. Hopefully you just need to dry things out a little better. How much water did you spray in there? Alot or a litte? BTW........not familiar, but when you did this, is your air filter covered or is it just sitting out there and you soaked it? Obviously if you did soak it.................don't do that anymore and you need to be careful about spraying you engine bay with water................especially when it's not cool. I wouldn't do it at all, but I have sprayed my engine on some of my past vehicles, but probably will not with this car.

the dangers of spraying your engine is usually with the alternator and the electrical equipment.

So run it by a dealer or autozone and have them pull the code off and yell you what it is.
