Subject:Drive thru puddle, engine quits.

I posted this problem before, but now I know the relevant environmental
factor..

If I drive my '87 Syncro through a fairly big puddle, the engine will quit
in about 15 seconds.   It can restart immediately, but then again loses
power within 30 seconds.  This continues until something dries out.

I'm not submerging the van here, but this will happen if the underside gets
a good soaking.   I took a look underneath to identify likely electrical
culprits, but nothing was obvious.  Any guesses?
Thanks
Kurt
