What is the impact of successfully restarting the car after stalling in water?
1 Answers
Restarting the engine after stalling in water can damage the engine. Relevant explanations are as follows: Do not attempt to restart: Once the vehicle stalls in water, you must not attempt to restart it, because when in heavy rain or during water wading, it is impossible to determine the exact cause of the stall. Therefore, the most reliable approach is to avoid trying to start the engine again. Connecting rod fracture and ejection: After the vehicle wades through water, water enters the cylinders through the intake manifold. Due to the incompressibility of water, the piston's movement stroke will become shorter, leading to bending or fracture of the engine connecting rod. Under extreme conditions, the fractured connecting rod may eject and penetrate the cylinder block.
