drove thru a puddle and the water got pushed up into the air intake of the engine. Now the engine won't turn. Battery has plenty of power. Engine is acting like it is siezed.
What kind of dammage did the water do and can it be fixed?

Does it attempt to crank? you could have shorted out the starter or relay or something.

or if there was a lot of water that made it into the intake then you could have hydralocked your engine.
