Hello I have a 95 Legacy outback that we drove under a underpass with a foot(maybe less) of rain water. The car stopped and wouldnt start, so I got out and pushed it and let it dry on the street for 2 warm days. It still will not start. The battery is fine, it does turn over but not start. I checked the air filter and it was dry. I put a little ether anyway, it did backfire.
All this while the power steering go on and I notice a few ounces of power steering fluid on the engine ( very little for a leak)
One more thing, when I tried to start the car, there was a wierd clicky/rattling sound from left and below the steering. Now the sound there whenever the battery is on.
Any help with diagnosis is appreciated.
