What do you think the best way to do when your engine submerged in water . A lot of vehicle will encounter this Problem . Give some list of what to do before starting the engine.

Change all engine fluids (motor oil, tranny fluids, etc)
Dry the spark plugs (or change with fresh ones)
Dry out the electronics (engine and tranny ECUs)

Grease all suspension, bushings, bearings, ball joints, etc. where recommended and needed.

Wooooaaah x 2! Grabe yan ah. Good luck.

Dry and disassemble everything thoroughly first. Many newer vehicles have sealed ECUs which should be flood-proof, but a shorted ignition circuit or sensor could damage them.

you shouldn't attempt to start the car once 'twas submerged, right? mas maigi kung pahila or tow or i-flatbed na lang siya di ba?
