I think they mean re-install, not replace. Here's what I would do. Take out the sparkplugs and lay them on the engine. Crank the engine. Any spark and they are probably good to go. If the plugs were hard to get to, I would connect my trusty timing light to each sparkplug wire and see if there's a light.
If fuel or water is getting to the chamber, then the plug should have been wet. With the engine firing the first time, I would suspect it fired from gas in the injector. I don't think that fuel is getting to the injectors. I would replace the fuel filter and go from there.
