Default Car won't start??

This is the first time my 94 Z has let me down except for a Opti issue. I started it the other day and ran fine, moved it out of the garage to under the carport to work on my truck. Well in that time our temp went from 23 degrees to 61 today it was crazy. All the snow and ice melted and everything is condensating. I'm finished with the truck and went to move the Z back into the garage and now it won't start?? Every now and then as soon as you let off the key it will pop and backfire. I opened the hood and it looks like it went through a flood, everything is wet and it's from condensation. It kinda acts like the Opti but please don't tell me that because I replaced it with a GM unit about a month and a half ago. Temps are suppose to drop again and hopefully it will dry out and start but anyone have any ideas??

Try to get it into a warm, dry place and after a while see if it will start after it has a chance to completely dry out.

Use a Hair Dryer and blow-dry the OPTI.
