Default Problem after going through water

Ok, we're getting this tropical storm, and the rain has been bad for the past couple days.

I was heading to the store, and I went through water, thinking it wasn't that deep. The water got into the car from underneath it, and got the front carpet wet.

I got to the store, went in for a little bit, then went to my car, got in and proceeded to go home. The car was bogging out, and it was hard it to get to speed. I smelled fuel, but I don't think I was out of gas, nor was my fuel light on.

Start to sputter down the road, and the check engine light starts blinking. I pulled to a gas station to get gas, but the pumps were off. I start smelling plastic burning, thinking oh crap, something's on fire. Get the hood open, and pull the ground wire from the battery. Checked around, no fire, no more smoke, smelt near the fuel pump under the back seat, did not smell of anything.

Now the car just bogs down, takes a while to rev up, and runs very shaky.

I also pulled the kick panel off, to see if the computer fried, it did not smell like it was fried, nor was it hot.

I'm at a lose here. What could it be?
