Default Oh great, my car stalls in standing water

As the rain started in NorCal today, my car driven fine. But after I drove out of the Kragen parking lit and made a right turn onto a major street and hit some 2-3" deep water, i notice all my lights were on. So I started my engine up and drove back home. And as soon as I made another right onto my street, my engine stalls out again, in standing water. I'm ruling out the possibilty of the engine sucking water. So can it be that some wiring harness is getting soaked with water, the O2 sensors dying, or the TPS? Or maybe a weak battery?

I always noticed that the A/C compresor would cut out in my ES in standing water. I always figured that it was something to do with the wiring harness getting wet. Probably the same with your LS.
