I drove my saturn through a flooded street and sucked some water into the intake (the air filter was soaked) I pulled off part of the intake spyder manifold that was in the way of removing the spark plugs and they where full of water. I finally got to the spark plugs, and removed them and the engine wouldnt turn over. Do you think I bent the valves? The car died while I was driving it in the water.

Hi, sorry, it sounds like you might have a bent piston rod or a broken piston. Remove the spark plugs to check if the engine turns over. If so do a compression test and go from there.
