thanks for replying, Brian. my post might have been a little misleading. it wasn't a severe engine submerge. it was about 6 inches of water and my daughter didn't get stopped in time. I think the biggest culprit was the splash got engine wet and water hit the air dam just right to where it got sucked into the engine. only 2 cylinders had water in them. I vacuumed them out. squirting oil down those cylinders is a good idea. I'll do that today. I used jumper cables but that was when battery and posts were wet. I'll try that again now that they are dried off. I'll continue with the hair drier treatment on fusebox on fender well but may have to take starter and solenoid off to dry them as you suggested. I checked dipstick and oil does not appear contaminated. electrical system may just have to dry out a few days. We'll see. I'll post back if I get it going.
thanks again
