Here are the steps to handle a vehicle stalling due to water ingress: 1. Push the car to a higher ground, then call the insurance company or a repair shop for towing, and proceed to the repair shop for inspection and repairs. 2. Be sure not to attempt to start the engine, as doing so constitutes deliberate damage by the driver, and the insurance company may refuse compensation. Below are the reasons for a car stalling due to water ingress: 1. At low engine speeds, the exhaust pipe is submerged in water, causing excessive exhaust pressure that extinguishes the engine. 2. The air filter gets wet, leading to insufficient air intake and stalling (water has not yet entered the intake manifold). 3. A small or large amount of water enters the engine, preventing it from functioning properly and causing damage and stalling.
