Don't laugh: wait. If it was truly "water" it probably wet your distributor and when it dries out it'll start and dry itself further when you drive it, although it may be a little "sputtery" for a little while. If you get it started, DON'T TURN IT OFF til it stops sputtering. This advice based on driving a car through standing water and accidentally learning the hard way. If you got ANTIFREEZE all over your engine, you may run into additional problems (corrosion??) that I'm not really qualified to help with. Good luck!

It is my guess that it is the water pump. There are no hoses connected to the water pump, so check the two rad hoses and if they are dry, it is likely the water pump. It could also be the head gasket or (unlikley) even the head)
How do you flush the radiator of 1999 Chevy S-10?
An easy way to flush a radiator is to remove the bottom hose from the radiator, and put a garden hose in the top fill hole, turn the water on, on the garden hose and let the water push the water out of the radiator. Do not start the truck. This is for flushing a radiator, not an engine. Dont forget to reattatch the bottom hose and refill the radiator as water will also flow out of the engine and will now be low.
How do you replace the water pump on a 1994 Ford Crown Victoria?
You have to drain the radiator and remove the transmission lines then remove the radiator itself after you losen the fan shroud. After that remove everything bolted to the water pump which is located right in the center bolted to the fan. Yes, you have to remove the fan as well as the lower radiator hose, then you can remove the bolts holding the water pump in place. After that all you have to do is replace the old pump with the new, using a new gasket. Then reverse everything you did to get to the water pump and put everything back together again.
