Discovery no power when wet

After going through the car wash my 98 discovery 4.0L loses all engine power. It will idle fine, when you accelerate it spits and sputters like crazy. After half hour its fine. Any ideas?

You are getting water in your electronics. That's why when it dries out you're back up and running.....Angelis

I do realize this, I was looking for more technical advice. The fact that it idles fine, leads me to believe the ignition system is not the problem. Maybe crankshaft sensor? Thanks anyways.
