    The fact that your "check engine" light was flashing probably indicates that you had a misfire. The water either got into the ignition system or the fuel injection system wiring.

    The "burning rubber" smell may have been wire insulation burning due to a short circuit.

    Unfortunately, you will need to have a professional look at this. There's no reasonable way to diagnose it remotely.

    Good luck
