Signs of a blown engine...

Well I finally got a FC, but the problem is that it's an auto and it just died on me last night. I was in stop and go traffic and the car just died when I stopped in the middle of the free way.

I did not hear anything pop. All I noticed was that engine was cranking (tired to restart the engine a couple of times), the battery was lossing power (i.e. interior lights began to dim as well as hazard lights), and the coils were not producing any spark into the engine. I believe that it has something to do with the ignition system, because when I added oil into engine earlier that day it was raining and I believe that water went into the distributer coils (is that correct? I'm used to my 305.)

Now I just wanted to know if I should remember anything that would lead to the engine getting blown.

Thanks
