Why should you not attempt a second ignition if water enters the engine?
1 Answers
To prevent water from entering the engine and causing serious consequences. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. The engine will inevitably stall after water enters: Since the water entering the cylinders lacks lubricating properties, blindly attempting to restart the engine after stalling may lead to severe damage or complete failure due to cylinder scuffing. 2. Check the condition of all vehicle system fluids: This is to prevent issues such as foaming or cloudiness after water ingress, which can cause oil deterioration and loss of lubrication. Additionally, water may carry sand particles that could lead to excessive engine wear. In such cases, immediate cleaning and replacement are necessary. After inspection, it's essential to clean the electrical connection components inside the engine compartment to prevent corrosion and sand residue caused by accumulated moisture in these areas.
