If you mean by sucking up water that water has been going in through the intake and into the engine yo will be introuble. Its not likely unless you've been going through a deep flood and actually had the air intake in the water. This usually kills an engine - its called hydraulicing and because water doesn't compress causes alsorts of problems.
If you are talking about spray and stuff getting into your electrics and causing misfires then renewing your leads/ dizzy cap if fitted will help and spraying water repellent on should help
