Is There a Problem If the Hood Is Left Open in the Rain?
1 Answers
There will be an impact. If the hood is left open during rain, water can enter the air filter through the gaps between the hood and headlights. If the drainage valve's function is reduced, rainwater may enter the engine through the intake pipe, causing the engine to fail to start. For minor cases, remove the distributor cap, dry it with a paper towel, and reinstall it. If severe water ingress occurs, repairs are needed. Introduction to the Engine Compartment: The engine compartment (hood area) typically includes the engine, air filter, battery, engine exhaust system, throttle, coolant reservoir, relay box, brake booster, throttle cable, windshield washer fluid reservoir, brake fluid reservoir, fuses, and more.
