96 850 GLT Automatic/No Turbo/135,000K

Yesterday, I made the horrific mistake of driving into 2 feet of water during a down pour. The car kept running for about a mile, and then just died. I couldn't turn it over. It sounded like the plugs were all shot. Had it towed home.

I changed the plugs this morning. I seem to have a "charge" on the battery, but the car won't even "crank" today, as it did yesterday.

I jumped the battery, but nothing is happening, other than lights/radio/accessories, working fine.

Whaddaya think? Did I cook a computer chip, the electrical system, etc.?

What do I do next?
