How on earth does a hood fly off? They have a lock and a safety catch!
After the rain, 'Water Displacement Formula 40' spray (WD40) would probably have fixed it, but you compounded the troubles by removing the battery. Now you have to reset the alarm and engine immobilizer. The battery also needs a good 12.8 to 13.2 volts, so it probably needs charging on a battery charger after all the attempts to start it.
The camry came with all the ignition module and pick up coil inside the distributor, check for spark at the spark plugs, if no spark replace the distributor, if you have spark then check fuel pressure. 38-44 PSI anything less than 38 will cause it to not run
Either there is condensation in your distributor cap or you have got water in the plug holes. Remove the plug leads and using a cloth clear the lose water, a hair dryer will evaporate the rest. If it is in the distributo cap, take it off by removing the screws or clips and dry it out, as well as the inside of the distributor. Spray it with silicone oil to keep it water proof.
If this is sparking out of what appears to be unexposed (covered) portions of the spark plug wire replace the wires. It might also be a good time to change the ignition cap and rotor as well. It may be "sparking" out of more places than you know. To test this start the car and watch the under hood in the dark or very low light.
Sounds like your under car plastic panels are missing I would go to your local junk yard and get those covers and put them back under there. I had a hyundai that I took the covers off and when I drove in the rain it would get up in the distributor cap and kill the engine. Also dont drive through flooded areas
Thanks , I relized the rotor didnt move and checked the timing belt , sure enough is snapped or came off.
