Could be timing. Anymore information would help.

 

Hi All new to the forum.......last week went through a big puddle ended up get water in the oil pan a cylinders etc fixed all that now wont start starter probably shot clicks but wont spin over.....replaced the starter have same problem can anyone help

 

did you try to clean all the connections up like it says above? make sure its all tight, dont just clean the battery post, clean the starter post and stuff too.

 

are you sure you didnt hydrolock you engine & bend a rod? did it run after you went through the water?
ive seen it too many times with an engine drinking water, bends a rod or 2 & they lock up tight

 

I have a neighbor with same problem different car. Sucked water into the intake & pretty sure the engine. My co-worker/mechanic said to Take out the plugs try starting the engine, it is to try to get the water to shoot out. If that works then put the plugs in & see what happens. Worse case you may have bent rods or valves.

 

you cant really bend valves from ingesting water, but you can bend rods easily
