You need to do some basic checks here. #1 since he went through water you need to do a compression check to see if the engine hydrolocked. 2nd do you have spark from the exhuast coil. The intake coil does not fire all the time only under specific driving conditions.Take a look at your fuel pressure ,what is it?

What was you fuel pressure?What was your compression on each cyl?Do you have spark from the exhuast coil when cranking?
