take it to a qualifed mechanic shop and NEVER spray the engine again let the engine dry off and then try to start it because it could just be a fail safe put in by the manufacturers to stop the engine electrics from shorting out and frying the ECU but if you have fryed the ECU some how you would be better off buying a new car because the ECU is one of the most expensive things to replace on a car

Where is the weep hole on a water pump in a 97 jeep Cherokee?
Probably difficult to see but it has one, it's behind the lower portion of the water pump pulley. If you have coolant dripping out from behind the water pump pulley, it is coming out the weep hole, the seal is shot and probably the bearing also. Time for water pump replacement, don't wait.
Why wont dodge caravan crank after water pump change?

Why after spraying water based coating's there's bubbles coming out?
After you spray something with a water based coating you should spray over it with polyurethane. This will make the bubbles not come up and the surface you have just sprayed stay smooth.
Can you drive your 99 Saturn SL2 with a bad water pump?
Definitely not recommended...your engine depends on this pump to circulate cooling water to remove heat. Without it, heat builds and the car will overheat, and may cause permanent, expensive damage to the engine. the question is how much fluid do you lose on your drive as well as do you mind putting water or coolant in the car everytime you crank it up, if its a short drive and you have spare jugs of coolant or water then go ahead, BUT you should NOT do this longer than you have to (til you can get it fixed) bad pump = loss of coolant = overheating = blown head gasket = $800 and up fix

Can you crank a jet ski out of the water?
Yes. You can crank and start a jet ski out of the water. However, without water, there will be no cooling for the engine, exhaust, and driveline. So generally it is not recommended to let the engine run more than a few seconds. Many people crank a jet ski out of the water to prime the fuel system prior to placing the jet ski in the water.

How do you get a 1999 Mazda Miata to start after driving through a deep puddle that flooded the engine compartment?
BE CAREFUL! Does the engine crank? ** IF it doesn't, the air intake may have sucked up water and locked the compression cylinders hydrolically. IF it doesn't crank, pull the plugs out and try to crank the engine so that it pumps out the water. Replace the plugs and try to start again.** **IF it does, it just may need to dry out.**
Where is the water pump on a 1994 mercury villager?
The water pump is behind and above the crank pulley in the center of the front of the engine. It requires extensive disassembly to replace, the crank pulley and timing cover must be removed..
Do you have to prime impeller to get water flowing through after changing?
Generally no. You do not want to run an impeller dry, so normally you will apply a light coat of grease to the impeller when you install it. On an outboard engine the impeller is on top of the gearcase and below the surface of the water so it will get water as soon as you start to crank the engine. On a sterndrive or inboard engine the pump can be located on the engine, but it is often mounted low (near the water level). If you crank the engine without starting it the impeller will "prime" itself.
Water pump location on a 1987 3.0 mercury villager engine?
There is no such thing as a 1987 Villager, I assume you mean a '97. The water pump is in the center of the engine in front, behind and above the crank pulley. To remove it requires that the crank pulley be removed, which may require special tools.
Your 2006 Chrysler 300 will not crank after driving through water?
If you can hear a click from the starter, but it does not spin, you may have sucked water into the engine. That can destroy the engine. You need to remove the spark plugs to check for water in the cylinders.
1990 Buick LeSabre when I am driving it cuts off and sometimes it'll crank back and sometimes it takes a long time I was told it was my coil pack?
My 90 lesabre did the same thing. When it cut off after driving I sprayed water on the crank sensor and it started right back up. A buick mechanic told me to do this and this is how I found out the crank sensor was bad!

Why is the crank case full of water on a bombardier jet ski?
The most common reason a crank case would be full of water is due to improper flushing, leaving the water running when the engine is not running. Other possible causes include improper towing (too high a speed or without a hose pincher) and sinking.Repairs must be accomplished immediately or permanent engine damage will result. Remove the spark plugs and crank the engine until no more water comes out. Use caution not to overheat the starter. Charge the battery as needed to maintain the ability to crank the engine. Then put the spark plugs back in and attempt to start the engine.You must get the engine running as soon as possible.Once you have the engine running, turn on the water to cool the engine and exhaust. Run the engine at idle for about four minutes. (You can skip this step if you can get the jet ski on the water immediately.)Ideally, get the jet ski on the water as soon as possible and ride it for at least ten minutes. This will get the oil and engine up to full temperature and force out any remaining water.
Why would crank sensor work after pouring water on it?
Sensor failure is often heat related , when crank sensors first start to go out they often have an intermittent failure when the engine is at full operating temperature. You are cooling the sensor with water.
