What to Do When a Car Won't Start After Water Intrusion?
1 Answers
Drain all accumulated water inside the vehicle, and absolutely avoid attempting to start the engine, as this can easily damage the valves. Below are relevant explanations regarding specific scenarios: 1. Battery Depletion: Characterized by the starter motor initially turning but lacking sufficient rotational force, eventually producing only clicking sounds without rotation. 2. Fuel Flow Obstruction: Caused by prolonged contamination in the fuel lines. Extremely low temperatures can cause water and debris to mix, blocking the fuel lines and preventing engine startup. 3. Solutions: Place the vehicle in a warm environment, and it should start after some time; alternatively, thoroughly clean the fuel system for a permanent resolution.
