98 4Runner START PROB:replaced starter/ignition coils/wireset

Help!! I got multiple problems. (2wd 2.7 engine) 98 4Runner.
Starter was clicking, started intermittently. Then I ran into ALOT of water (Houston floods) and truck wouldn't accelerate. Let it sit for a day and it accelerated but staggered sometimes and over 60mph you could feel a 'thump' as if the engine was dying.

I got the starter replaced. Started up fine.
A few days later i got the ignition coils and spark plug wires replaced. (My friend at Firestone hooked it up to a computer and it was misfiring and suggested coils and wireset). Cranked fine and ran fine.

Turned it off and it won't start!!! Just clicking. This was a new starter. Faulty? Battery A+. Hit the new starter and nothing. Cables fine.

I just forked over 450 bucks and I'm a broke college student....FOR REAL.
pLEASE HELP, cuz I'm out of cash and it's DIY from here on out.
