Ok yesterday Long isnad had a huge rian storm. I drove threw a pretty big puddle. Right as i got out of the puddle my car stalled. Now when i Try to start it there is just a loud clicking. And somtimes it sounds like the engine turns over for a sec. What could it be???? the starter motor???
Water could have gotten to the starter. Also check your battery.
Better check for water just in case. Take out the air intake tube and check for water. Check the air filter for water. If you find it damp, then what I would do, and what i have done when a friend drove his car through water, is clean out the area around the spark plugs and take out the spark plugs (yes, all of them). Inspect them for water (this is a good time to clean them and gap them). Squirt a little bit of engine oil down in the cylinders and try to get the engine to turn over. If it's not turning over, make sure the battery connections are tight and you have a good, charged battery. The engine should crank over and you should see water flying out. it may help to take a rag and place it over the spark plug hole as the engine is turning over.
If you have water in the pistons, change your oil. after being as sure as you can that all the pistons have the water out of them (turkey basters and a short piece of tubing are great for this among other things...), put the spark plugs back in and reassemble the dry air intake. Start her up and get it warmed up to evaporate any water that may be left in the crank case.
you definatley have an electrical problem. check starter. lets the car dry out for a while. depending on the puddle you could have water anywhere

Agreed sounds electrical but I still would want to know that there's not water fouling the plugs. Find out where the water is and isn't. Is the air filter wet?
Ok. today i looked in intake. There was water. I took all plugs off, and banged on the starter motor. I finally got it to turn over, It seems ok. Im gonna buy new oil oil filter and new plugs before i get her going again. The plugs were wet,
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
