Car got car in a flash flood and i got it to higher ground as fast as i could but it stalled and i had to push it. I changed the spark plugs and drained the oil which had about a quart of water in it but it still won't start. its been 24 hours so everything should be dry i think? any other ideas? i used some ether too but it just won't start

Check the airfilter box, pull the plugs and spin the engine, let it dry o/nit. Not saltwater I hope, did water get to the pcm?

Whats the PCM, the main computer? If it is behind the glove box i felt up there and it was all dry so i don't think any got to the computer itself

Yup PCM=Powertrain Control Module

This should be behind the passanger headlight in the 5th gens! As for the 6th gens I beleive it was by the airbox!
