Can hydroplaning damage your transmission?
The water can even damage your transmission by causing your gears to slip. Also, water may get into the brake lines and cause brakes to fail.
What happens if you drive through a deep puddle?
Notes: Water deeper than the bottom of a center line of wheel is too deep! If a true 10 mph – that’s just fast enough to water ski and would make quite a spash unseen perhaps. Sometimes air intake will suck in water and that can blow the engine! Thanks guys! Yeah the water wasn’t super deep…maybe about a foot or so.
What to do if you drive through a puddle of water?
I was driving home and exited the roadway, and went into a big puddle of water. The car went almost all the way through the puddle, and then it turned off. I had to use the emergency neutral lever so we could push it out of the way. I was able to push the car the few remaining blocks to my house.
What to do when your car goes through a puddle?
The car went almost all the way through the puddle, and then it turned off. I had to use the emergency neutral lever so we could push it out of the way. I was able to push the car the few remaining blocks to my house. Then, I tried turning the car back on but it says ‘service transmission’.
Can a car get wet in a puddle?
Cracked light housings could get wet, etc. If the water is deep enough that there is a huge rush of water over the front of the car or the engine bay, you could suck some water into the intake, but then again, the intake/air filter housing is made to deal with this as well. Added: The heat from the brake system should dry them very quickly.
How to troubleshoot an idle that is going up and down?
Finding the ultimate cause of an uneven idle can be a trial and error process, but a cost-effective way to cure your F-150’s idle problems is to start by cleaning specific components to see if this restores a smooth and even idle prior to replacing components.
When is the idle position is not learned?
Code P2176 is set by the PCM in the situation where the idle position is not learned within the throttle actuator control system. The Throttle Actuator Control System is duty cycle controlled by the PCM and the function of the system is limited when other fault codes are detected.
What should I do if my torque converter is not working?
Torque converter (automatic transmission only) may not be locking at the right time, or it may be slipping. The fix: Check lock up circuit or have the torque converter replaced. This is not a DIY job. There may be a vacuum leak. The fix: Check and replace vacuum lines as required.
