It sounds like it sucked water into the cylinder and now you have hydraulic
lock.  Did it squirt water when you pulled plugs and turned it over?
Sometimes the water pressure from this cracks a cylinder or head.

my 99 taurus sucked in some water during the flooding we had in Houston
on Monday.  It wasn't deep, but apparently it sloshed the wrong way and
the car died.  I checked the next day and the air filter was soaked.
Maybe I goofed, but I tried starting the car with a boost and nothing
happened.  Towed the car home, disconnected the battery and pulled the
plugs.  All were dirty and one was wet.  Tried to turn the engine by
hand and got about 30 degrees turned and then it came to a hard stop
and I can't turn it no more.  I checked the dipstick and it seemed ok.
Thoughts?  I'd like to get the car running if at all possible without
major mechanical.  Electrical I can do myself.
