More info might help. What happens when you turn the key in the ignition, anything?

now don't go runnin out to buyin ya a new motor young fella... it ain't necessarily that there hydrolock thingy.
hydrolock would lock up your engine and it wouldn't turn.
you might have some fried electronics, coils, plug wares. do ya some more intense investigationing to see beferrin ya goes and buys an H22.

Do the first things first. Check for a CEL. Check for correct battery voltage. Go to Advanced or wherever and get the alternator checked. Get the starter checked. Get the distributor checked. Most car places check a lot of that stuff for free.
