Does Not Stalling Mean No Water Intake?
1 Answers
When driving through flooded areas, not stalling indicates that the engine hasn't taken in water, but it's difficult to ensure whether other parts of the vehicle have been submerged or soaked. Here's some relevant information: Observe road conditions carefully: Before driving through water, pay attention to the depth, flow direction, and speed of the water, and assess whether there are obstacles like mud or quicksand underwater. Additionally, wrap the distributor and high-voltage wires with plastic sheeting before entering the water. Observe the path and speed of vehicles ahead to gauge the water depth and determine if your car can pass safely. Maintain steady power: On hard surfaces, engage a low gear and enter the water slowly. Keep the steering wheel steady and maintain a consistent throttle to ensure the car has sufficient and stable power to pass through in one go, avoiding stops, gear changes, or sharp turns if possible. Be especially cautious if the underwater surface is sandy or muddy.
