Scotty Kilmer hey I flooded my car on the 4th while I was driving and I've replaced the oil and filter, bought a new air filter, and new spark plugs but it still won't start. Though they just put the new spark plugs in They didn't try to start it first without them to let the pressure out I didn't know to do that. It still won't start though, so would u happen to know what I could try next? The check engine light went off though but that's it. It was trying to start after we changed the spark plugs but now its just clicking again. Thank you sorry it's so long

Thank you so much for your advice , I rescued my car that I was told was a write off due to flood damage It now runs better than before with no adverse affects It was a bit of a challenge to dry it inside but why send a perfectly good car to the scrapyard due to fresh water even my mechanics were not interested in sorting it out Oil change , new plugs ,new filters after spinning the engine over with the plugs out , a good spray with WD40 and she is fine I do not think that soggy carpets are too difficult to fix And I did it all myself Nice one my friend

Thats wats up scotty youve been my online guide for over 10 years saving me time and money. You are a RARE Gem
This is useful information for many people. My car was recently in the flood caused by Hurricane Sandy. Thank you.
Scotty...I love your videos. You always have a "don't sweat it / no stress" tone. A couple of years ago a flash flood (during a really heavy downunder thunderstorm) sent water pouring down my driveway and into my garage to a level of about 60 cm. (around 2 feet). The water penetrated the door seals and water got into the car. The water did NOT get into the engine, thank God! I was at my wit's end as to what to do so I contacted Mitsubishi Australia (the car is an 2004 V6 Mitsubishi Magna...built in Australia and also exported to the US as a "Mitsubishi Diamante"). The Mitsubishi person I spoke to was an old-time mechanic who'd been with the company since the factory was owned by Chrysler back in the '60s. He gave me some great advice which I'd like to share with your viewers. 1/ If you know the engine is okay (following Scotty's guide above) the the quickest and safest way to dry-out your interior before any carpet rot sets in is to follow the directions to follow. 2/ Drop a quarter cup of toilet-type scented disinfectant (NOT BLEACH) into each footwell and swish the water around to mix it. This will kill off any bacteria in the water...important in stopping the rot process. After ten or so minutes scoop as much water as you can out by hand using a jug or whatever you can find to the job. 3/ Go and hire a carpet steam cleaning unit from your local supermarket or any place that hires them out. (In Australia, the big supermarket companies have them for hire at the front of the store) Use the unit to draw out as much water in the car's carpet as you can. Then use the steam function (with the supplied cleaning fluid) and steam the crap out of the carpets and any seat fabric which may have been doused as well. Do the whole cleaning process until hardly any more water is being dragged into the dirty water receptacle. 4/ Buy four bags of silicate kitty litter from the supermarket and put one bag in each footwell of the car (assuming it's a sedan). If you have a wagon put two extra bags in the load area. If you have a sedan and water got into the boot (the "trunk", as you guys call it) steam clean it and use another bag or so of the kitty litter. 5/ Leave the car parked in the sun with all windows cranked down about a half inch (to let evaporated water out) and your vents open. Give the kitty litter about two days to do the job of sucking the water out of the carpets and underfelt. If, after two days, you can still feel water in the carpets or even just a little moisture, then replace the kitty litter with a new batch. Shovel the old stuff out first and put it in your recycling bin. Wait another couple of days. 6/ Shovel the kitty litter out, vacuum up the remaining annoying bits and then sprinkle a few drops of "Nilodour" in the car. You should be good to go. To make doubly-sure you get all the water , put a couple of Damp Rid canisters into the car each night for three or four days. Your car should now be bone-dry inside at this stage. The Mitsubishi guy told me not to worry about underfloor rust as most car companies used a type of sealing tar on the floorpanels these days before installing the carpet. The ONLY worry you might have (which will be evident if the car wont crank despite the engine being okay, or random "check engine" lights come on) is whether or not you car's ECU got water inside its case. If that's so, take the ECU out (most of them unplug), open the casing (DO NOT TOUCH ANY CIRCUITRY INSIDE...EVER), spill out the water and leave the unit to dry out in the sun for an hour or so and then buy a spray can of "Co Contact Cleaner) and spray the interior of the ECU liberally. Drain any remaining fluid and leave the ECU in the sun or in a warm room for a couple of hours. Reassemble it, plug it back in and see if the engine starts and runs without any further warnings. Also check that your brake light switch works by getting someone to look at your tailights as you hit the pedal. Most switches are a bit awkward to get out but their cases can be opened and cleaned with Co Contact Cleaner as well and then reinstalled. I hope this long-winded diatribe helps folks in this situation. It sure helped me and my car is still running sweetly as these years later. Don't thank me...thank Mitsubishi Australia. :)

+tripsadelica Good tips, but I really recommend that you pull all the seats out, and the carpet out as well. Pressure wash the carpet and let it dry for 2 weeks. The seats are tricky, and it is even harder to clean them if they have airbags in them, or if they're power. Speaking of electricity, you need to go through ALL the wiring harnesses that were exposed to water, and clean them out with electronics cleaner. If any of them are corroded, cut and solder a new end on. If water penetrated the dash, you have to pull it out as well. A few inches of water isn't the end of the world if you fix it right.
@tripsadelica

Pulling the seats out is a good idea as well as pulling out the carpets. I suppose I was lucky in that the water which got into my car was clean rainwater. Had it been salt water or drain water then I think I would have done exactly as you say.
@helivesonforever
8 жыл бұрын
tripsadelica Absolutely, fresh water really isn't the end of the world. Honestly, salt water isn't either if you clean it up right away. Up north here, we drive our cars on that crap all the time, and we pay the price. Our cars rust from the inside out anyway, so a saltwater flood would do the same thing, just at an accelerated rate. I would still pull your carpet up just a little bit on the passenger side just to see if the floorboards are still damp. Although you think they're dry, the pad can hold water for months, even years. Just pop off one of the trim pieces, and reach under the carpet and pad. Make sure it is dry all the way to the middle or something.

tripsadelica That sure will. Sometimes carpet padding is located in between sound deadening material though. No matter what you do, it will retain moisture. The only way to dry it out is to remove it, and hang it up for a few days. Normally you will find this in the transmission tunnel hump if you have a truck, and in any area that has the exhaust running right underneath it.
Love your videos Scotty, Im in Houston too (Stafford/Sugarland side). I remember that soaking we got in January last year, ended up hydro-locking my Equinox driving thru some high water. I pushed it into a nearby parking lot and had my mother come pick me up (tow services everywhere where backed up for hours due to the flooding). Next day I came back with a new air filter, oil filter, oil, plugs, and a little diesel. 1 hr later it was running like a champ again. Lol

Back around 2008 it rained really hard while I was in bowling league. I came out to find the parking lot flooded and I had parked at the low point. The filthy water was 3/4 up the wheels and had been seeping in through the bottom of the doors. There was about 4 inches of water on the floor in my 2006 GTI. Everyone was wandering around and I asked two young guys with beers if they would help me push my car onto dry land. We rolled up our pants and waded in. I opened the hatch which was still above the water line and shifted the car into neutral. We pushed the car up next to the bowling alley where we shop-vaced out the dirty water. The next day I went back with towels and sopped up as much remaining water as possible and then let it dry in the sun for awhile. I hadn't seen this video so I started the car and drove it home instead of towing. I stripped out the interior (seats, console, trim, gas pedal, etc.) and extracted the carpet and insulation and washed them in my front yard in a kiddie pool. Put everything back and the car was as clean as new, better than before I got flooded. The only cost was my labor and I had to buy a new satellite receiver which is under the passenger seat ($20 off ebay). I don't use satellite radio, but the receiver is needed for the dashboard compass to work. I am still driving the same car today and it has never had a problem related to the flood. In fact in 11 years it has never had a problem requiring me to bring it in for service. Everything that had gone wrong I have been able to fix cheaply myself. From this experience I learned that flooding might ruin a vehicle or it might just make it dirty and cause almost no harm. If it is the latter and you can get it for a low price, it is a very good deal.

@Vappi94 gasoline vapors and air mixing in the engine compress by the pistons. But water getting into the engine does not compress much at all, it's hard. So the piston rods bend and break instead.

@sean l , It depends on the car. But in your case, i'd just drive it until it's at operating temperature and see how it runs. Since the oils are okay and the air filter is dry, you should have no problems. The exhaust pipe is probably full of water so running the engine to operating temperature will help clear that problem out. Normally exhaust pipes do get some moisture inside them and in some cases even have a puddle of water inside the muffler. It's all normal. As long as the engine functions normally after you warmed it up and ran it a couple of times, you should be okay.
Good, easy, smart video. good job

Thank u for this video!!! Ours got flooded last night...smh
Great video Scotty!
thanks for the help.
NICE VID SCOTTY!!!
brilliant advices, even if i don't have problems with flooding myself
because they are much more complex and hydrolocking them can bend piston rods

Just did this today to my Lexus IS 200t. I only got 20 bucks on me till Thursday so I’m drying the filters with my lasko fan. I checked the oil and it looks fine. I’m less concerned now, Thank you for the information. Houston got hit hard with rain.🤟🏼
This guy is great. No two ways about it.
