When the vehicle will not start when you spray water on the plug wires, that means that the insulation around the plug wires has failed. Replace the plug wires.
When you squirt water on plug wires and the car stalls, that means that your plug wires are bad. PLUG WIRES (not rotor, cap, or any sensor).
Replace your spark plug wires with new, and you should be fine.
just look at it , parked with a hot engine.
its under 12-14psi pressure, so will leak , with ANY cracks
your job is to look, and see the leak and the crack.
my wild guess, is its a bad RAD.
your short REAR, says zero. to me.
it has huge area front and back , top to bottom ,left to right.
btw, a hose can squirt AF fluid, so not cleaning it first
then getting it hot, then seeing the true source of the leak
is all just conjecture.
clean it (water
start car, see the leak now?
bingo, and bingo the source.
see any squirts from other objects.
hoes ,water pump, manifolds.?
Check for a rusted welsh plug. (expansion plug) in the head or block. Check that the coolant is not from the drain hole in the bottom of the water pump indicating a failed pump seal. Have a coolant system pressure test done and you will see where the water is coming from
if the water was in the electrode part of the plug in the cilinder it sounds like you may have blown a head gasket. pull all the plugs & crank eng & see if water squirts out if so may not be worth fixing if older then 1998
Yes. Is there a heat valve in the heater hose may not be opening. Next no heat valve disconnect both heater hoses crank engine and see where the water squirts out of engine thats where the inlet side of the heater Hook the garden hose to the other side and blow it out probably full of rust change antifreeze more often
I have no idea what you are asking. Start with are you getting fuel . Can you here the pump in the tank for about 5 seconds after you turn key on? Look down where carburetor would be is gas squirting in there when you turn the key and crank. Take off a spark plug wire off plug put an old plug in the wire brake of the bottom electrode and hold it 1/4 inch away from an engine bolt or ground and have some one crank engine should have blue spark.
could be water in the fuel as condensation will form in the tank from the hot return fuel in the cold fuel tank
there should be a water drain on the bottom of the fuel filter
If you don't have one , then get a filter that has the water separator as part of the unit
Now for your problem
hard starting of diesels comes from
slow cranking speed ( battery too low in charge)
faulty injectors ( squirting and not atomizing--- replace injectors
tips of the injectors damaged by the water in the fuel
glow plugs not working
one way to stop water in diesel is to keep the tank as full as possible to keep moisture laden air out on the tank
the water drain should be activated at least weekly
It sounds like you have a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head. These are usually caused from the engine over heating. if the leak is that server a quick check would be to fill the radiator with water and leave the cap off, then crank the engine over if the water comes squirting out from the radiator its a good to say its in the head gasket or cylinder head. Good luck
