Well look at it this way. Spark pplug wires are more insulated than any other wire under your hood. (Unless you have a stereo system like mine) :P . So the odds of water affecting them is slim to none. But if they got wet from driving over a puddle then everything else under your hood prob. did too. Like pwee said let it dry off for tomight and if you still have problems in the morning let us know.

If you replace the plugs, goo ahead and replace wires too. Always a good idea to replace both at same time.
