Here's where I stand right now, as of 8:20 a.m. on Wednesday morning. I have pulled the starter. I left the oil out overnight to check to see how much water was in the oil because I know they will separate if left alone. When I came in from work this morning, there was no appreciable water in the oil, less than a full cap from a Coca-Cola bottle. The motor didn't crank over when I tried to crank it with the starter in, but I did hear the distinct click from the solenoid, so I know it's getting power. I know the crank sensor that you are talking about Brian, but where is it on this vehicle? I simply cannot find it. I am going to check the starter and see what happens, but I am betting (hoping, really) that it won't work. It was already making that whirring noise that you can hear when a starter is about to go, although only occasionally, so I figure (again, hoping) that the water shut down the ignition system and that the starter was gone as soon as the water got in it. I am really, really hoping that I didn't hydralock it. The water did not reach dash level, so I am going to check the fuses, sensors, etc. even if the starter doesn't check out. Thanks for all your help!!
