How to determine if there is water in a car engine, and how to solve the problem of water in the engine

The engine is as important to the car as the brain is to humans. People will still get sick and there will be some trouble on the car. If there is water in the engine, it should be solvable. Today I will tell my friends how to judge the problem of water in the car engine. Let’s first analyze the problems that our friends have, and then talk about the solutions.

Solutions to engine water intrusion - three possibilities of flameout during water intrusion

1. Check the engine oil: The simplest technique is to check whether the color of the engine oil is abnormal. If the oil turns milky white, it means there is water in the fuel tank or engine.

2. Check whether there is water in each pipe. Check the air filter and air filter lower housing one by one for obvious signs of water intrusion, and check the intake pipe and intake manifold for obvious signs of water intrusion.

3. Check the spark plug. Remove the spark plugs from each cylinder and check to see if they are wet. If they are wet, the engine will show signs of water intrusion.

4. Check the engine cylinder wall for carbon deposits. When the engine is operating normally, the pistons in each cylinder reach the same top dead center position, and the top dead center position on the cylinder wall is clear. After the engine enters the water, because the water is difficult to be compressed, the piston cannot reach the original top dead center position, the piston's motion stroke becomes shorter, and the top dead center position will move downwards significantly.

Engine water intrusion solution - solution

1. At this time, the owner should push the vehicle out of the deep water area to ensure that the engine air inlet will no longer absorb water and park it in a safe place. Remove the spark plug, artificially cut off the fuel supply system and ignition system, and then use the motor to run the engine to drain the water entering the engine smoothly.

2. Check the oil condition of each system of the vehicle at the same time, and replace it in time if there is foaming or turbidity.

3. After the inspection, use compressed air to remove the electrical connecting parts in the engine compartment to avoid corrosion of the electrical connecting parts due to water accumulation.

4. After cleaning, conduct a road test on the vehicle to ensure that the engine makes no abnormal noise during driving. If there is noticeable driving noise, check the engine bearings and rotating parts. However, if the engine does not turn after the spark plug is removed and started, it means that the engine is out of power and can only be handled by a repair station.

Okay, that’s all today’s introduction from our friends at the Automobile Maintenance Technology Network on how to determine whether there is water in a car engine. I don’t know if my friends have any further understanding of how to judge the water in the car engine after listening to the introduction of the editor of the Automobile Maintenance Technology Network. I hope the brief introduction of Xiaobian’s Automobile Maintenance Technology Network can be helpful to my friends. If you want to know more knowledge, then follow the Xiongzhao account of this site.
