Sunk My X

The other night i got stuck in a mud hole, water came in up to the the bottom of the gear shift. minimal water entered the engine. I've changed the oil. The engine would barely turn over, then got just a solenoid click. (i had the dizzy cap off so it wouldn't fire) A guy came along the trail and put his scan tool on it and it wouldn't establish a connection.The ECU was submerged, i pulled the ECU plug off and there was still water on the connections. I'm currently letting everything dry out before i try anything else. is there anything i should do in particular? (no water in the airbox, i think the only water that got in ran down the oil dipstick.) Ill post some pictures later if anyone wants a good cringe... The first picture is when it was almost out, it was much much deeper.. The motor is blown along with the ecu. I've have have the motor ready to come out just waiting on weather to cooperate. the joys of working in your driveway in November in Canada...

If you soaked your ECU I'd start calling junkyards if you're optimistic. Your credit union if you're pessimistic...
