99% sure you got water down in the center part of the head where the spark plugs are. Water will collect down in the holes where the spark plugs are making them foul out and not spark. Pull the plug wires and get some paper towls. tear off small pieces of towl and stuff between the plug and head in the hole. After they become soaked you may need needle nose pliers or a bent wire to get them out. repeat till all water is out of the hole. Then do same for the other three.
