mkan just went through water up to the doors finally got it running right if water got sucked into the intake you have to remove it andclean it all just speaaying into the intake with throttle body cleaner just wont do, also dry gas into the tank just in case, and look at all fluids including radiator, as well as water in the oil drain 2, also i do recommend removing all 6 plugs if it is an sc 3oo and turn over motor to clear out water, and try tolift the front end to get most of the water in the mufflers out, i dont know how much water you got into the car this is recommended for the extreme flooding

I had this problem a couple times with my Supra. It gets water in the spark plug holes. only thing that can be done is let it dry. remove the spark plugs dry them and let the water drain. Depends how much water you got down there. The ge stinks for that because of the intake plenum that goes over the engine. the gte has the whole spark plug section covered.
