Can a car run normally after the engine is flooded and repaired?

After the car engine is flooded and repaired, it can be used normally without any impact on the vehicle. However, this is on the premise that the damaged components due to the flooding have been repaired or replaced, adhering to the principle of repairing what should be repaired and replacing what should be replaced. If the engine is flooded during vehicle use, even if only a small amount of water enters the engine and the vehicle does not stall, you should not continue driving. Water entering the cylinders and mixing with the engine oil degrades the oil quality. Oil containing water increases wear on engine components, leading to louder engine noise and greater vibration during subsequent driving. In severe cases, it may frequently result in oil burning or engine damage. Upon discovering that the engine is flooded, regardless of whether there are any immediate abnormalities, the first step is to turn off the engine, call for rescue, and wait for assistance. It is strictly prohibited to restart the engine or continue driving to avoid unnecessary losses.
