Drove through a giant puddle yesterday and the car wouldn't start after I stopped, made a weird clicky noise too. Let it dry over night and had no issues staying it this morning. But now it s doing the clicky noise again and will not turn over. What should I do?

 

What other info may you need?

 

What year? Gas engine?

 

1997 and yes gas engine

 

I was thinking that water got into the distributor and got something wet that shouldn't have gotten wet but now I'm not sure

 

Are you able to post a video or sound byte on here? That way people can get a better sense of what I'm talking about

 

Idk if this would help but I hooked up my code scanner and it keeps reading that there is a link error

 

Ok, if anyone has any interest I can email you the video of what happens when I turn it on and try to turn it over. Thanks for all the help!

 

Check ecu. Had the same issue going through a car wash (I know, there's a first and last time for everything) and found ecu soaked, and corrosion. don't ignore the basics, battery leads, starter connections, grounding points

 

Ok perfect, I will check all those out. Thank you ajnolin
