Why Won't the Car Start After Going Through a Puddle?
1 Answers
When a car fails to start after going through a puddle, it is usually due to water entering the engine. Here are specific solutions for dealing with a car that won't start after going through a puddle: 1. Do not attempt to restart in water: If the engine stalls while driving through water, do not try to restart it while still in the water. 2. Tow or push the vehicle out of the water: After moving the car to dry ground, try to park it on a slight incline to allow water in the exhaust pipe to drain naturally. Remove all spark plugs using specialized tools, then crank the starter to expel any water from the intake system. Once done, reinstall the spark plugs, and the car should start normally.
