Kinda vague huh? from the first impression it sounds like you blew a coolant hose and the smoke you saw was steam from the coolant hitting the manifold. But if you had to remove the spark plugs to see the water then you have blown a head gasket.

What causes spark plugs to be wet by water?

How do you un-flood a Jet Ski motor?

Depends on the type of flooding. Hopefully the gas flooded and not the water flooded. If it's flooded by gas try starting it with throttle wide open. If it doesn't work after a while, remove spark plugs and crank engine over for few seconds (remember to watch out for the spark) Install new spark plugs. If the engine is flooded from water, you will have to remove the spark plugs and crank on it for a while till all water comes out. *I have personal experience here* Install spark plugs and attempt to start, if not remove plugs and keep cranking. It may fire for a second or two. Keep removing spark plugs to dry them off and crank some more. Keep this up back and forth for a while, or till engine fires up.


Why would water come out of your spark plugs in a civic?

You have either A blown head gasket, A cracked head or a cracked block, alowing water from your cooling system to enter the chamber. this will result in water also finding its way into the sump ruining the oil . stop the motor and dont run it till it is fixed. The water is coming out of the hole where the spark plugs screw in ? - Then water has gotten into the engine or is getting into the engine while driving in the rain or washing, it is unlikely that the water is actually coming out of the spark plugs themselves.

How much is it to rebuild a 2001 jeep Cherokee sports engine with water in it?

take out the spark spugs and crank the engine over until you pump all the water out of the combustion chamber......spray some starting fluid in where the spark plugs go...put your spark plugs back in and see if it will fire back up. This is considering you only hydrolocked the motor by sucking water in through the intake....hope this helps


Will Water in your spark plugs keep the car from turning over?

Water around the outsides of the spark plug may keep the car from running due to poor spark plug wires, but the engine should still turn over.
