Unless the engine was completely flooded (submerged) in water - make certain that the fuel is not contaminated with water, the air intake is clear of water, and the oil in the crankcase is not water contaminated. Then crank the engine until (hopefully) it will fire. If this does not work, or the engine was complete submerged, there is little doubt that you will need to have a repair shopdiagnose and solve the problem.

Do insurance companies consider a vehicle a total loss if it has been submerged in a lake?
I guess if you had the choice of where to submerge your vehicle, a lake would be the best place. Lakes are usually fresh water and relatively clean; relative to, say, flood waters. But fully or even partially submerged vehicles are NEVER the same after they are recovered, dried out, and cleaned up, especially if they were submerged in salt or filthy water. Some companies will "total" a car that has been immersed in salt or flood waters. When it has been submerged in fresh water, however, totaling depends upon the value of the car: if the remediation costs more than the car is worth, they will total it.
How do you return a new car purchased-- that has a bad transmission?
