Are you getting water on the carpet? If so, the drain is plugged. Open the hood, look on the passanger side firewall, and you will see a rubber hose going nowhere. Make sure it isn't plugged in the end. Dirt gets into them there and causes it to plug.

As far as the engine, has the check engine light ever come on? Also, have you tested fuel pump pressure?
