You have two separate problems. First, the missing flywheel teeth. That's simple enough, yet still very strange that it happen in the first place. Replacement is a bitch, but that's what a warranty is for.

Second is the stall. The flywheel has nothing to do with that. I agree that the water probably played a roll and you soaked something. That's actually the easier of the two problems.

i'm just suggesting you bump start it and make sure it runs. if it's locked up that may be why the tooth is broken off the fly wheel

I had heard that if you get water in the engine, you just pull out the spark plugs and crank it over. Don't know if that will work for our cars considering they are all computers.

if you get water in your engine you are totally screwed! the cylinder walls will rust and when the piston moves it will scrape the cylinder walls and leave gouges which will cause compression loss

Water in your engine won't just kill it. You would need to hydrolock the engine to really damage it. Rust will only happen if you don't clear the water out AND don't run the engine for a while. If you get some water, the normal process of the engine running will usually clean it out for you. If the engine stalled, then the removing the spark plug trick is helpful, but not for the laymen.
