car got wet in rain, won't iddle above 2,000 rpm!

got caught in a freak down pour and the car got soaked. Started up fine.
an hour later I fired it up and it would not go over 2,000 rpms. Had to drive home 15 mph, luckily i was close to home. Dealer is closed for Holiday.

Later in the evening after I waited to see if it would dry and return to normal I stalled the car in reverse quickly fired up the ignition again and it was back revving like normal. Check engine light that came on was reading code P1502(Fuel Pump Relay Output Stage - Short Circuit to B+)
I erased the code with my OBD scanner and the CEL did not reappear. But I have to deliberately stall the car to get it to fire up normally.

clues? condolensces? donations?

p.s.
I am typing this from rented PC time at Kinkos because my PC's hard drive crashed
...sigh. And my cable tv is on fritz.
