Default cavalier sputters after hit snowbank

during this last storm i drove through a small windrow in front of my driveway and now my car sputters while idling n almost stalls. During acceleration it sputters prettty bad too. Car was running fine before i ran through the snowbank. Anybody have any suggestions on what could have happen or what to check out? I appreciate it!

could be bad ignition wires, if they got wet from the snow. Also may be a bad computer, the older cavaliers had the computer mounted in the right front fender(low just above the splash guard) they tend to split open and if you hit the rf that could be your problem. what year is the car?
