What to Do When Your Car Stalls in Heavy Rain?

[OHailey]

Here are the solutions for a car stalling in heavy rain: 1. Dry and Restart: If the system is damp or short-circuited, it is generally not a serious issue. Wait for the circuits to dry or use a hairdryer to dry them before restarting. In severe cases, replace the fuse. 2. Check Exhaust and Air Intake: If you confirm that water has entered the exhaust or air intake, the car must be towed to a repair shop for inspection. Do not attempt to force-start the car, as this could cause greater damage due to ineffective engine lubrication. 3. Assess Water Depth: If your vehicle is in a situation where it must drive through water, first assess the water depth to ensure it hasn't submerged the air intake pipe, etc. If you must proceed, shift to a lower gear and maintain steady throttle pressure. Do not release the throttle, as stalling could cause water to flow back, resulting in damage.
