Driving through flood water would cause the ignition to fail and stall the engine.
Crank sensor failure. It is located on the front of the engine, points down to the crank pulley.
Ignition is required for an engine to work. Failure of ignition would prevent the engine working.
Yes.
Faulty vehicle speed sensor.
No it will not.
Yes, just about any sensor on the engine could cause a no start.Yes, just about any sensor on the engine could cause a no start.
Not likely. A bad O2 sensor would illuminate the check engine light and the engine performance would suffer.
Your question is sort of backwards, perhaps you meant what causes engine failure? Engine failure causes...the engine to fail. If someone told me their engine failed I would take it to mean that it stopped running, or wouldn't start.
Major engine failure?
It would if the battery voltage was lowered enough to cause it not to fire.
Your transmission doesn't have an 02 sensor. The o2 sensor monitors engine exhaust to control engine performance. But, dirty transmission fluid is a problem and should be changed before it cause a major and very expensive transmission failure.
The Gaseous buildup inside of the internal combustion chamber would cause engine failure, the engine to blow, and explode litterally
