Can the car start after water enters the exhaust pipe?
1 Answers
Water entering the exhaust pipe can prevent the car from starting. After the car has driven through water: If water enters the exhaust pipe and the engine stalls, do not attempt to restart it forcefully. Instead, immediately call for roadside assistance and wait for help. If the water intake in the exhaust pipe is not severe: You can inspect the electronic systems yourself and remove any accumulated water under the car body. Then, remove the spark plugs to drain some water from the engine before reinstalling them. This process allows the engine to start and prevents stalling. If the car has been severely submerged in water: Roadside assistance is required to tow the vehicle to a repair shop. If water has entered the exhaust pipe, a simple cleaning and drying process is necessary before the engine can function properly again.
