The filter had a little water on it from over spray but it was never directly sprayed or anything

Check "ALL" the fuses in the PDC and the ones on the side of the dash(ALL) . Also pull the coil wire(spark wire) from the coil and check it and the wire that goes under neath / side of the coil. You can also disconnect the negative battery cable and remove and check the connectors to the PCM.

If I got the PCM wet would it still crank. Because its cranking just fine it sounds like it start. I can smell gas in the engine compartment

Yes it will still crank with PCM wet.....if you smell gas you are probably not getting spark. Did you check for spark from the coil yet?

You going to check everything that's been suggested or are you just worried about the pcm? LOL It gets wet every time it rains. It's the 3 connectors you want to check for now. (And check the other things that have been suggested).
