What is the reason for the car not starting after being pushed out of water?
1 Answers
Possible causes include distributor and spark plug malfunctions. Below are the relevant explanations: Distributor: There may be moisture in the distributor, causing poor sparking. Wipe the distributor rotor and also check the oil dipstick to see if water has entered the oil. If water has mixed with the oil, the oil will appear milky white. Spark Plug: Remove the spark plugs and attempt to start the engine to expel water from the cylinders and exhaust pipe. After drying the spark plugs, reinstall them and try starting the car again. If the car cannot be turned over after removing the spark plugs, do not attempt to start it further, as this indicates that the connecting rod, valves, and pistons may already be damaged. Continuing to start the car could cause more severe damage.
