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.

Why is water pouring into the oil pan?

Assuming you mean engine coolant is pouring into the oil pan, you probably have a blown head gasket or a cracked head or a bad intake manifold gasket. To answer that question in more detail the year, make and engine information would be helpful.


Why would an oil pressure sensor keep the car from starting?

Oil pressure is very important in vehicles. If your sensor is bad or reacting to an engine problem, it is best to take it to a professional to get it checked. without proper oil pressure you could seize up your engine.Will a code P1189 cause my alero to crank over without starting


What Would Happen if all oil exhausted?

Usually one of the rod bearings seizes to the crank, destroying it and the crank journal. If the engine is running hard, it can seize and explode, sending chunks of the rod and crank out the side of the engine. It is usually the rod that is furthest from the oil pump. In a Geo Metro, this will be cyl 3. -Carl


How much water would it take to stall a car?

Water is heavier than gasoline and the pick up tube is located at the lowest point in the fuel tank so, to stall a car and cause it not to restart, I would guess several ounces would be enough once the water has been pumped up to the engine.Answer2:It really depends on where the water is. Water outside the car won't stall it until it reaches the air inlet. At that point, a single drop touching an airflow metering sensor can be enough. Absent an airflow metering sensor, it would take a lot of water to block an air filter. Inside an engine's combustion chamber, it can take only teaspoons to stop the engine turning or cause the engine to physically break.In a fuel line, sufficient water to be insoluble (typically about 2%) or so will do the trick, alcohol fuels excluded. Some alcohol fueled vehicles can tolerate (but not happily) more than 15% water in the fuel.


Can you change a 1985 460 to a 1983 351?

To change a 460 Ford engine and make it displace 351 cubes, you would have to remove the 3.85" stroke crank, and install a crank with a 2.94" stroke. I do not know how to change the year on the engine.
