Is my motor blown ?

So since my motor sucked in a mouthful of water the other night it hasn't been running right. I've changed my oil, run a gas treatment flushed everthing and it's still sputtering. So, I checked my codes and this is what I found :

1.) Code 7- TP Switch
2.) Code 23- Knock Sensor
3.) Code 72- Cylinder 2 misfire or random fire
4.) Code 74- Cylinder 4 misfire or random fire

So, I'm running nitrous but haven't in the past few weeks. My question is what the hell do I do ? Is my motor blown from the huge puddle of water I went through ? I need some guidance. I'm pretty confused. Is it worth getting fixed or should I just get a new motor ?

Strange you should only throw 72 and 74.
Knock sensor one is also strange, usually only throws the code if it's unpluged or damaged.

Do what I said in the other post, remove the plugs and fuel fuse, crank the motor over a few times to make sure no water is in there.

I think you may have flooded out some electronics....

I hate to say it but I have only seen cylinder misfire codes on one motor and it was blown. At first we were not sure what the problem was. But once we did a compression check we figured out that it was losing pressure in the very same cylinder it was codeing for. For time sake I would start by having that done. Then try everything else I know a very good person for cheap.

Well, I've thoughtt his out and it's gonna be more money to get the damn thing fixed then to get a motor. I mean I can get a B16 for around 1800 and I can do the install myself with some friends cause it's not a big deal. But what I might try to do is swap an H22A into my civic. I've got a friend who swapped an H22A into a CRX and he's offered to help me. I've heard that they make mounting kits for it and stuff now so, I dunno. But a new motor is def. what I'm leaning towards. Any more suggestions ? DO you guys no anybody that is selling a b16/h22 ? Lemme know. Thanks.
