My '85 1.5 carbed crx was recently up to the sills in water during a flash flood. It turns over, has spark, and is getting gas, but you have to crank the god out of it to get it to start...and then it stumbles really bad for a few seconds before it goes back to its purring. whats wrong?

There are 3 goals when modding a car.
Cheap, Reliable, and Fast.
Now the down side. You only get to pick 2...
Fact: A recent study shows that 92% of all teenagers have turned Emo.
Put this in your sig if you're one of the 8% who stayed gangster as $h!t.

This was two, maybe three days ago, and I took the cap off, and it was completely dry... It is a very vexing problem. the carb also just started flooding really bad when I try to start it, so its getting annoying.

Sounds like something is dirty/clogged, maybe in the carb?
