What causes engine shaking after water exposure without stalling?
1 Answers
Engine shaking after water exposure without stalling can be caused by: 1. Engine temperature too low: Rapid cooling after water immersion causes the engine to temporarily operate in a cold state similar to winter startup conditions, resulting in poor performance. Allow the engine to warm up. 2. Water ingress in engine: Contaminated lubricating oil due to water entry. Requires oil change. 3. Exhaust system malfunction: Water exposure may damage certain sensors in the exhaust system, causing ECU malfunction. Check ECU signals. 4. Intake system issue: If the air filter intake is positioned low, minor water ingress may occur, leading to poor engine air intake. Inspect air filter element. 5. Drivetrain problem: Water entering the transmission system primarily due to poor sealing. Requires transmission fluid replacement.
