Possible the trip throught the deep puddle soaked the alternatior when water got above the splash guard mounted on the under carrage suggest you check all of the electrical wiring amd relays to see if any are wet or are now exposed to the weather. Good luck. Fixes for deep puddle adventures can be difficult to find and fix.
Check the electrical system--distributor cap and plug leads for moisture. Check all wire connectors for water ingress and dry out. If you were driving for some time then the cat converter would be hot and immersion in water such as you describe is the best way to crack the insides and block up the exhaust.
A car will stall when driven through standing water if the ignition
system is not watertight. Worn spark plug wires and coil wire,
improperly seated spark plug wires, or loose distributor cap are all
possibilities. There is a spray called CRC or some agent that
promotes a water drying action can be used to dry out a wet distributor
cap and wires. Drying off the electrical components will remove the
moisture that is grounding the electrical energy that should normally go
directly to the spark plugs. If car will not restart after stalling
from the water splashing as described in the question - and the poor
condition of the electrical system is ruled out, some water may have
passed through the air intake into the engine and perhaps into the
cylinder. If this happens have the car towed to a repair shop where they
can remove the water before any further damage results. This condition
is not easy to occur but a real deep puddle can set the stage for water
to be sucked into the air intake and pass through the filter into the
intake and through the valves into the cylinders. This is why you see a
Hummer with a snorkel - for wading through deep water.

Sounds like water got into the fuel system, try some fuel system cleaner in the gas tank, you may have to drain the gas out of the tank and refill with new gas
could be a fuel pressure problem you need to find out when the fuel filter was changed last if a fuel filter doesn,t cure the problem then you need to get your fuel pressure checked
