I had something like that happening to my '94 Accord while driving through a deep puddle during a rainy night. Tha engine just died in the middle of the puddle. I tried to restart it several times to no avail. After a minute or two of just standing there and not doing anything, I was able to restart it with some initial rough idle, but I was able to drive it home later as if nothing happened before. When I drove it a couple days later to my favorite shop they found that the distributor cap was cracked and it probably took in some splashed water when driving though a puddle. I never had the same problem after the distributor was replaced with a new one.
