Ok, not much info to go by here.
Car won't start. That could mean a dozen different things.
Does it crank over?
If it doesn't crank over, does it click?
Is there a voltage guage on the dash? If so, what does it say the voltage is at?
If it does crank over, does it crank over normally, faster or slower than usual?
 
YOU need to supply us the information, so we can help you. Us not knowing exactly what the problem is, we can make a thousand guesses and be wrong.
With the information, then we can start to make educated guesses. So, help us out here.

I'm speculating that the loud noise was/is your real problem, and coincidentally occurred after you had gone thru a puddle. If you didn't go really deep water to suck into the engine, then the concern would be splashed water on electrical components (which are normally fairly well covered anyhow, but would not do well in a dunking). Nothing shorted out and you drove home, and then drove it later that evening.
 
I personally doubt water is your problem.

2.3L Not starting by snowbrdjnky

I have a 95 2.3L millinia. We have tried all we can think of to get the thing started. When it died it sounded like it ran out of gas. Sputtering. Hasent started since. I have replaced the fuel pump and relay. Still nothing. I checked the spark and it looks like its good, Large and white. NOT BLUE like im used to. Plugs are alwayse wet when we pull them out now. Im suspecting an o2 censor. Would this cause the car not to start? Or a cloged cat? Please help. Any suggestions will be greatly appriciated.

First thing. Did you replace the fuel filter?
Fuel pressure will need to be checked.
 
It's possible the cat is plugged. Hard to tell from here.
 
No, an O2 sensor would not cause the car not to start.
Why do folks want to always condemn the O2 sensors??

We replaced the plugs this morning. Still nothing. Poped a few times but thats it. the diagnostic said the cat is running at 1.4%. Is it possible that that will cause it not to start? If so can we take it off? Were lost and running out of options. Thank you for your reply. Also where is the inertia switch?

the diagnostic said the cat is running at 1.4%.
What diagnostics? How did you check it?
 
Is it possible that that will cause it not to start?
Uh yeah.
If the diagnostics you ran is accurate, then 1.4% is plugged.
 
If so can we take it off?
You can disconnect the cat for diagnostic purposes, but you cannot remove the cat, as that would be a violation of federal emissions laws.
