Hi:
The starter is on the side of the engine that faces the radiator. Check to see if you are getting 12 volts to the smaller wire on the starter with the key in the start position. If you are, replace the starter or have it bench tested at a parts store.

Let me know what you find.

No no no your starter is on top of engine under lower intake manifold. Take your car and put it on a scanner it's free.

It sounds like you hydrolocked the engine. I would remove all of the spark plugs to see if the engine turns over.
