You could try going round the entire engine bay unplugging each sensor plug one at a time cleaning them and try spraying electrical grease into them before plugging them back together this should help the electrical connection and prevent the ingress of water again.
Hope this helps

P.S. if it is a 4x4 dont forget the two big multiplugs at the back of the bay.

You could also dry out the inside of the dizzy cap!!

water + electrical components = fuk up

Dizzy cap may be cracked which causes the current to arc accross the points therefor getting a miss fire!
