A light bulb turns on and then turns off, not a car.

I would start with the plugs and see if you have spark. Also, see if your fuel injection system is working and see if your engine is getting fuel. Your car also has a computer. There may be an issue with that too. You need to start somewhere. Good Luck.

I'd say you got it wet. Have you checked for moisture under the distributor cap?

Check for fuel delivery first. Could be a simple as a clogged fuel filter, or a bad fuel pump. If those check out move to checking for spark, check the cap and coil and all wires and plugs. Did your Check Engine light come on at all? If so, check the codes.
