Eltren, as you probably know, the immobiliser CPU is located below the drivers seat - if it has been flooded, then the minimum you have to do is remove the seat and disconnect the immobiliser. You may be lucky and find the internal fuse blown, but as it has been immersed you will have to dry the immobiliser out completely - but I suspect you may have lost it.....This new problem is far bigger than fitting a replacement coolant pump.
Big dollars I'm afraid - I'm sure that someone on the board will chime in with an approx $$ cost.
It would retail at about $3 million here in Australia, but you guys get it a lot cheaper in the US than here !!!
