How to Deal with a Car Stalling Due to Water Ingestion

Methods for handling a car stalling due to water ingestion: Push the car to a higher ground without water accumulation, call the insurance company, and then tow the car to a repair shop to check the water damage. Stalling, also known as flameout, refers to a sudden and significant drop in reaction rate when the reactor is operating at a noticeable reaction rate, if the temperature of the feed inlet is lowered to the lower limit of the multiple-state region, causing the reaction to stop. Reasons for car stalling: 1. The engine stalls at low speed because the exhaust pipe is submerged in water, causing excessive exhaust pressure; 2. The air filter gets wet, leading to insufficient air intake and stalling; 3. The engine ingests a small or large amount of water, making it unable to function properly or causing damage and stalling.
The car stalled after water got in. That time I drove through a deep puddle in the rain and it stalled immediately. I didn't dare to be careless. I turned off the engine key right away and definitely didn't try to restart it, otherwise water could get into the engine and seize it up, costing thousands to repair. If the water level wasn't too high, I tried pushing the car to a dry spot. If I couldn't push it, I called a tow truck to pull it away. After taking it to the repair shop, the mechanic opened it up to check the air filter and inside the engine. If water was found, it had to be drained and dried. The electrical system also needed inspection, otherwise a short circuit could cause a fire, which is even more dangerous. The whole process needs to be quick because if water stays too long, parts will rust. In short, don't panic when something happens, act decisively, and prioritize protecting the car from additional damage.
