Hi, This problem started happening yesterday after the rain. The floor of my car was all filled with water. I didnt leave the windows open and the seats were all dry but the floor was like a river. So i dried it as much as i could. Now my car starts fine but the engine turns off when i'm changing gears to reverse or drive or anything. Sometimes it will just shut off when i press the break. After about 10 tries it lets me get past changing the gear but will still turn off after 20 secs of driving. The rpms are going crazy all while all this is happening and its jerking back and forth like crazy. Can anyone please help me in identifying what the problem is or how i can fix it?89 Acura Legend, starts but engine turns off when changing gears?
It's hard to say for sure, but the fact that the interior of the car got wet means the exterior also got wet. I'd say the distributor is wet and the ignition is at fault. Try some ignition drying spray in and around the distributor cap.89 Acura Legend, starts but engine turns off when changing gears?
u prob have a short in the wiring - esp if the car was filled with water like u mentioned - bring it in or get it towed to a mechanic...
