2002 Pontiac Grand am 2.2l Flood Damage
I recently drove my car through a flooded intersection and it stalled. It was dark out and I didn't know the water was that high. It came up to the bottom of the door. The car wouldn't start back up, it just clicked. I got pulled out of the water, let the car sit for a bit with the same clicking. We removed all the spark plugs and still click when turning the car. Is there any hope? What steps should I take if there's any chance of getting this back on the road?

Hopefully this is not your fate and maybe you have soggy battery connections or a defunct starter motor. You'll have to get a socket wrench on the crankshaft pulley nut (keep the spark plugs out) and see if that engine will budge.
If not, then you know what happened.
