    If there is water in the motor.. jack the car up.. pull the oil pan off.. Most of the water will be in there but it would be impossilbe to get it all out without inspecting it as much as possible.. Next break out the good ole WD-40 (in case you didnt know WD-40 = Water Displacement 40th Formula) .. spray up into the engine as much as possible.. clean your oil pan and allow the engine to dry up as much as possible.. Then spray each with parts cleaner. Put your oil pan back on and then start checking your ignition system starting at the spark plugs.. you should be fine.

    agree with everything y'all are saying be sure to check your ecu and make sure that NO water got into it had a friend whose accord got water inside the car during a flash flood about 5 years ago and they totaled the car out and Griffin Tech wouldn't pay for it and it was happened on there property so be careful
