What to Do If the Car Stalls in the Rain?

[StBethany]

If the car stalls on a rainy day, do not attempt to restart it immediately. Instead, take measures to tow the vehicle to a safe location with less water as soon as possible. Reasons for stalling in the rain: 1. Water in the distributor: Once water enters the distributor, it cannot generate high-voltage sparks, causing the vehicle to stall. 2. Water in the intake manifold: Rainwater enters the cylinders with the engine's suction, leading to stalling. 3. Water in the exhaust pipe: If the water accumulation is severe and the exhaust pipe is submerged, the exhaust pressure may not overcome the water pressure, preventing gas from escaping and causing the engine to stall.
