Default CRX flooded and now it wont start. Code 0?

My CRX was flooded last night. The water was up to the bottom the door speaker covers inside the car. My Batt is good, there is no water in the intake, the oil doesnt look any different, and the engine turns over. The Check engine light is on obviously and the ECU light just stays on when the key is turned to on. Code 0 i believe. So is the ECU fried most likely or could the harness just be too wet? Also is there any good way to tell if there is water in my motor by looking at the oil? The oil looks normal but im not sure. THANKS

Ya your correct code 0 is ECM. I would take the computer out take it inside the house open it up and let it dry out. Get a wet/dry shop vac and suck as much water out of the car a poss. pull back the carpet with the computer is and take a small portable heater or hair dryer and dry the heck outta it.More then likley when ya tried to start the car you might have fried the ecu.
also check all fuses under the dash and under the hood.

Ya said the water only went up to your speakers so i dont see how any water would make it into the motor.

What ecu do you have?
