Don't try cranking and cranking. If you ingested water, that may make it worse. Do you have a CAI?

take off your airbox lid and see if you sucked water inside the engine.

did you go through it or did you try to go through it and get stuck in the puddle?

Damn.

How low is your car?

I'd pull the plugs and turn the crank to try and get any water out of the motor.

Then reinstall plugs/wires and hope for the best.

I hope it's something cheap (relatively) like a distributor that got wet and fried, but it's unlikely.

Good luck.
