Hi,
These are the steps you need to do :
1.Never crank the engine. This can easily cause more expensive damage.
2. Remove all induction components i.e. air filter box, air metering devices and all air ducting and disconnect injectors (electrically)
3. Remove Spark Plugs (Petrol engines) or Glow Plugs (Diesel engines)
4. Dismantle as required to allow water to escape from throttle body and inlet manifold.
5. Reverse step 4
6. Crank engine by hand to check timing
7. Crank engine with throttle pedal fully depressed until all water is ejected; but beware of high pressure water being ejected from combustion chambers. Reconnect Injectors

8. Re-fit one spark or glow plug and crank again. The engine should "cough".
9. Re-fit second spark or glow plug and crank again. The engine will "cough" and may even run.
10. Re-fit third spark or glow plug and crank again. The engine will probably run.
11. Re-fit the fourth plug and crank again. The engine should run.
12. Ensure all induction components are dry and re-fit using a NEW air filter.
13. Start engine. It should run normally if the engine hunts (faltering revs) the air flow sensor is suspect.
14. Change the oil and oil filter. Mil light may be on so code clearing may be required.
