If your car goes through any deep water (puddle, wake from a semi-trailer, etc.) and stalls, DO NOT TRY TO RESTART the engine. The chances are that you have ingested water into your cylinders and if you try to start the engine you can bend a rod or some other nasty thing WILL occur.

If you are mechanically inclined, remove ALL of your spark plugs at the same time and turn the key in the ignition to turn over the engine. This will cause the pistons to pump out any water in the cylinders through the spark plug holes and will get rid of the water in your engine.

After you re-install the spark plugs, change your oil as it is probably water contaminated too.

Hopefully after this your car should be alright.
