Default water in engine or exhaust

Well, where I live in Oklahoma the roads are shitty and we got shitty *** drainage systems. I was driving in the rain and saw a puddle across the whole road but I didn't think that it was that deep because I saw the car in front of me go through it. When I went through it, my car stalled in the middle of it. I don't know if water got in the engine or exhaust or something. I know I got a leak somewhere in my exhaust. What should I do?

yeah if you have a cold air intake, there is a good chance water got in through there. If so there is a good chance you bent a piston rod.

I tried it after it happened. I have to wait untill tomorrow morning cuz I'm at work right now. It sounds like it wants to start but it just doesn't turn on.

I don't got a cai, just a short ram. Mine filter sits next to the battery.

Tried it again this morning. Sounded like it was about to turn on but it didn't. Can I flood it by trying to turn it on too many times?

I was in the EXACT situation a few weeks ago. Come to find out after checking everything else, I relized I had a small amount of water in the distributor cap. I just took the cap off and blew it out with an air compressor. If you don't have one just let the car sit out in the sun for a few hours with the cap off and hood open. Apparently the SLIGHTEST amount of moisture will cause the dizzy to go haywire.
