When you say you sparying near the starter, does this mean you had your hood up? Do you think you maybe got water into the air intake duct, and suck water into the engine?

first thing i would do is make shur that the connections on you battery are clean enough that they shine like a new nickle. Then when you shur that the power supply is 100% flip open the fuse box and make sure that no water is inside. Find your stater relay and ensure that it is good before you start ruleing out the starter.

i forgot to ask if you check your sprak plug holes for water.

does the nanana sound mean the engineis turing?

if the engine died when the car was running then itcoulden'tbe the starter. right?
