First things first, how deep was the flood? and hope that your motor didnt take up some water, because that means you might need a new motor soon.

How can it go all the way up into the spark plugs? if thats what you think try changing them, if not your car probably drank water, cuz thats what usually happens when you go through floods fast or slow. i usually get out when im by a flood, turn it off then just push =) but just an idea on what you should do. is your car low? are you running a cold air intake?

take you intake off, clean all sensors with car/maf sensor cleaner, cuz of the splash you might have sucked uop isome water but not enough to seize, or damage the engine, water just got to some sensors, check headers/downrpipe since the sudden temperature change could have craked them....
