Is There Any Impact If a Car Stalls in Water and Restarts?

[AlexisRose]

Stalling and restarting a car in water can have certain impacts on the vehicle. The specific effects are as follows: 1. Damage to the Cylinder: After the vehicle wades through water, water may enter the cylinder through the intake manifold. Due to the incompressibility of water, the piston's movement stroke will be shortened, leading to bending of the engine connecting rod. Under extreme conditions, this may even cause the connecting rod to break and penetrate the cylinder wall. 2. Hydrolock: The reason a car stalls in water is that water entering the distributor cap disrupts the normal ignition function, and water entering the engine air filter increases intake resistance and fills the combustion chamber, preventing the spark plugs from igniting. Restarting the engine under these conditions can easily lead to hydrolock.
