Drove through high water help! Wont start
so earlier i drove through the drive thru at star bucks, little did i know there was a dip in the road with what seemed to be a bit of water which turned out to be more.
when i cross my car stalls, flips out, and shuts off, car woldnt start had to get it towed home. i read it might be the maf? i believe i dried it out now though assuming the maf and sensor
are part of my intake.
when i turn the key you hear a click like it wants to turn on but doesnt. also all the lights and radio work fine, all electricals seem to be working.
anyone have any advice on what to do?

Drain the oil ASAP!! Stop trying to start the car. You run the risk of damaging the internals of the engine more than what may have already been done.
Remove the intake manifold and spark plugs.
Dry everything out
Drain and refill the oil
Replace the Spark Plugs with new.
Manually crank the car with one spark plug out.
