Rain won't find its way into the engine, but a strong blast of water has far more force.

CE light on = get it checked out soon
CE Light blinking = Pull over and get it towed to dealership or mechanic.

Yeah your kinda preaching to the choir on this one, this happened 2-3 months ago.

Strangely enough I've had the "dreaded" blink on two occasions just for a few seconds and then it went away. I guess it's all good though because I haven't seen the light blink in quite some time and I've never seen a solid CEL. Strange. I think the ECU was confused for a sec I guess. The car runs stronger than ever.
