There's water ingress into the combustion chamber.
Would be difficult to tell from where and how remotely.

Does that mean the engine will have to be brought down to check?

Oh sorry. I didn't know you drove a 1989 pathfinder SUV. My bad. Check if there's water in your tank. Thats the only thing I can think of at this point.

NB. I'm not a magician to know your car year or model or engine type, neither am I present to inspect and diagnose to know what's wrong.

It's a 2008 model. There's water in the tank when checked. I removed thermostat to check if maybe the thermostat malfunctions but same thing still happens when parked uphill.

Fuel pump checked, it's okay. I could parked on a level ground for days and come back to start my car. If I park inclined upward with engine off for over 3 to 4 hours, the sparkplugs become water wet.
Temperature gauge reads normal .

Some people said head gasket or a hole somewhere on the engine block or cylinder head.

I want to be sure, i don't want them doing trial and error method

It's normal, that's how beetle does.

Anyways, it may be acting such way because of your fuel pump isn't picking up fuel. Check your fuel pump installation and correct the alignment of the fuel pump and fuel ASSY in the tank.

Normal ke? I have been parking on that spot for years, it doesn't do that. Just started this week.

Sparkplugs become wet with water, to get the engine started , i will need to clean the Spark plugs and remove the residual water from the plug chamber. My car isn't a beetle . Lol. Na SuV

Good day.
I ma having this weird issue. Don't know if someone else has experienced it also before .

If I park uphill, like park with the engine inclined upward, after some hours of it cooling down . The engine will fail to start, it will crank but won't start. If I park on a plain level, car will start fine , once.

I have tried this 4 times and same result. It just started happening this week.

So, what happened that would not start the csr uphill is that the spargplugs become water wet. Cleaning g the sparkplugs and blowing of residual water left in the engine will immediately start the car. What could be the reason for this?
This only happened when parked uphill and left to cool for a while. Let's say 4 to 5 hours .

You can make use of the DPM.
Also do something to mitigate the challenge caused by rainfall water splashing on the external walls of the building before you're told in future that you did not build right.

Alright. Thanks

About the bolded, that will be the job of the roof. Right?

You need to be a true follower of certain engineers who have a mix of academic work and proper and thorough field work experience to know the reasons why any engineer would require a DPM or not.

Just this few questions for you....
(1) What's the height of your foundation from natural ground level?

(2) Does that environment experience flooding after rainfall ?

(3) Are there proper drainage already constructed within that environment and surroundings?

(4) Is there any natural water body to a depth of 6 feet or borrow pit within a radius of 500 metres around that area?

Thanks.

To answer your questions.

1. About 3 cement blocks high
2. No I doesn't
3. A new site. Water flows down the slop
4..nope there isnt .

ALL FOUNDATIONS NEED A DAMP PROOF COURSE. I don't understand people building without DPC. Building without DPC is just an accident waiting to happen.

However, BRC - Bar Re-enforcement Concrete is absolutely not necessary in a residential building. Introducing BRC in a residential building is tentamount to over engineering. For commercial buildings like petrol stations with heavy traffic, BRC is recommended to prevent cracking from heavy vehicular traffic. But in a residential family home - no way. Waste of valuable money.

Thanks. Well, articulated. Someone said the "over engineering part" but I just needed to hear from here. Now I am convinced . Damp proof only then. One shouldn't waste money anyhow..

Thanks once again. You were really convincing.

Properties › Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by FILEBE(m): 6:15pm On May 16, 2025

Good day.
I want to ask if using damp proof and using BRC mesh is necessary for a floor foundation of a one story building. Considering that one is trying to save cost at this critical time and also, the land isn't a waterlogged area. Artisans advised against it that it is a waste of money, Engineer said i could, if want to. What to hear from people's experiences and also from professionals here.

A serious company will take correction and bring the customer closer by offering her free ride. That way they have gained a customer for life and people will believe in the service.

With all the advertisements about staying away from drugs? We should better to not encourage people in these acts. If you are deep in the act, i am sure you know it's bad for you but don't try to paint it as cool. One reason why we are having this never ending war with Drugs is how our celebs and artistes glorify these things. Now, youths are into it , feeling fly and funky just as they see and hear from their Idolo

Proper? Was Heathrow in London built like that for the scratch? No, it has undergone several years of rebuilding to reach the status it is now and modifications will still be done going into the future.

Was JF Kennedy airport built to world class standard from the scratch? Subject to several years of improvement.

The list goes on.........

[b]When it comes to your country, you Obi supporters talk without thoughts just because Agulu fraudster lost election

Maybe you should go check the first MODERN phase of these airports you mentioned. You will see it's nothing compared to what you are saying up there. Let us assume it's so, those airports are lot of years older than any of ours. We are in the 21st century and we still can't build an astonishing edifice compared to other developed nation? Progressive to development but we have to keep these political officers on their toes. We shouldn't be seeing their works as favors to us. We hold them accountable for all!
