* The engine may have hydrolocked. This happens when water enters the engine's combustion chambers and prevents the pistons from moving. When this occurs, the engine will make a clicking noise when you try to start it, but it will not turn over.
* The starter may be damaged. The starter is responsible for turning the engine over. If the starter is damaged, it will not be able to engage the engine's flywheel and turn it over.
* The battery may be dead. The battery provides the electrical power needed to start the engine. If the battery is dead, there will not be enough power to turn the starter.
* The ignition system may be damaged. The ignition system is responsible for creating the spark that ignites the fuel in the engine's cylinders. If the ignition system is damaged, there will not be enough spark to ignite the fuel and the engine will not turn over.
If your car won't turn over after driving through high water, it is important to have it towed to a mechanic as soon as possible. The mechanic will be able to diagnose the problem and repair it.
Here are some tips to help prevent your car from hydrolocking:
* Avoid driving through high water. If you must drive through high water, do so slowly and carefully.
* Do not turn off the engine. If you turn off the engine, water can enter the engine's combustion chambers and cause hydrolock.
* If your car does hydrolock, do not try to start it. This could damage the engine further. Have the car towed to a mechanic as soon as possible.
