Default drove car threw BIG puddle

i was drivin in tampa it was pourin out, i have a cold air intake on my car, i drove threw very slowly what i thought was a shallow puddle, halfway threw the street dropped n the water got a lot deeper. my car choked out, i got out to push it out of the water, (the water was up to the door frame) almost comin in the car, my idiot friend tried to start it while the intake was under so it sucked up all the water, well no suprise but it wont run, when it happened i took out the plugs n cranked it to spit out some of the water, it spit out a lot! after that i put new plugs in, could get it started but runnin terrible. then it got repo'd from me for about 8 months, i just bought it back n wanna get it fixed, i pretty sure the engine iz toast, but any idea's that could fix it, i can get it started but it backfires like hell. just tried plugs but no luck.
checked all the fuses all good

im lookin for a new engine to put in but until i find one i tryin to fix it
so anybody got any idea's or can sell me a engine?
message on here or call or text me at 941-451-9482
i lookin for a D15 or d16, maybe a b16 if i can find it cheap enough
Thanks!! )

if your car died in the puddle...it already sucked up the water, making you and your friend the idiot.

sorry.

also do a compression test to see whats going on....if its not pretty even across all 4, pull it out and get a new one...good luck, and stay away from puddles in the future
