Ok, so last thursday I was on a Highway during a massive downpour and my 91 240sx stalled out in water. We pushed the car off the road, let it sit a bit and were able to get it started. My car was sputtering so I drove home (about 10 mins away) and parked the car. I checked the oil and the oil was all brown and was mixed with water. I drained the oil, changed the oil three times until the oil was nice and clean. Now, my engine still makes a loud tapping sound, which turns into a high pitched whine/tapping at higher revs. Also, when my engine warms up, it wont idle. The revs drop from around 800 to 0 and sometimes stalls out. I have no clue what is wrong with my car and could use any advice at all. Thanks in advance
