Is Engine Stalling Due to Water Intake Serious?
1 Answers
Engine stalling due to water intake is very serious. Here are the precautions to take after water enters the engine: 1. If the engine has been submerged in water, do not attempt to start it immediately. Starting the engine under such conditions can cause water to enter the combustion chamber, leading to bending of the engine connecting rod. 2. When the vehicle engine is running, if the road water level is higher than the engine's intake system, backflow can occur. Water may enter from the air filter to the intake pipe and then into the engine combustion chamber. 3. If the engine stalls, do not attempt to restart the vehicle. Immediately call your insurance company and a repair service to wait for assistance.
