Went to leave work and my car wouldn't start. Noticed the fuel pump wasn't coming on so i first thought the pump. To make a long story short I went to check the relay and saw that the larger silver box was sitting in about 2 inches of water. I plugged up my scanner and I'm getting a flashing E which means the ccomputer can't be read. Is it shot or can I let it dry and be ok

try to dry it and test it after that. Most important is that you clean the drain hole at the bottom of the electronic box where all the parts are installed like DME, ABS

Should I clean it with something like maf sensor cleaner or denatured alcohol or something

Where are we talking about? In the rood on the right hand side by windshield or are you talking about in the back seat?
