Chrysler Repair: 1999 cirrus no start, crank sensor, water question

Question
I can here the fuel pump start and I can smell gas under the hood. Didn't think to write down the code numbers. I didn't think any of them would prevent the car from starting. I know the injector code was there before. The car has 140k on it I didn't think an EGR or air temp code was out off the norm. The engine took most of the water on the driver side. Isn't that where the Crank sensor is. How can I check that. I can feel air coming out the exhaust when it cranks so I'm thinking the exhaust might be open.

Answer
Original question and answer:
Subject:  1999 cirrus no start after submersion in a puddle of water.
Question:  Car stalled and wont restart after driving trough puddle. Ignition fires,timing belt is intact. Does not appear to be hydro locked. Has injector, exhaust gas, and air temp codes. One or all may have been there before. What next?
 
Answer:  Hi Mark,
Do you hear the fuel pump run for about 1 second when you turn the key to the run position? That is normal, but if not then is of interest to me. What are the specific numbers of the fault codes? You can erase the codes by disconnecting the battery for a minute, reconnect, then try to restart and then look for 'fresh' codes, and tell me the numbers of those. The fact that you get spark is good. The issue then would be mixture or possibly some clogging up of the exhaust system or catalytic converter by the water experience. Did the car die while driving through the puddle or did it happen later after finishing the trip?

Hi Mark,
The crank sensor is on the back side of the engine at the split between the engine and the transmission. I don't think that would be as sensitive to water as the distributor.  The distributor is also on the driver's side and it could be wet under the distributor cap.
