So a buddy of mine has a 98 xj stock as a rock..
He went wheeling and was in some water .. he claims he wasnt beating his rig up or going in deep water but said he was in water..
anyway He is having some issues as its dying on him repeatedly and leaking antifreeze..
Then overheated right as he was getting it home
So heres the symptoms and what ive done ..
looked in airbox and the filter seems fine.. there was a little muddy water in the bottom of airbox . but filter was clean ..
tried to hunt down coolant leak it looks like its coming from the hose that comes off the right side of radiator (when looking at from front) into the water pump? either right at the connection or from the water pump?
If you run the heater it comes out cold ( i suppose cause coolant is low).
with the funny idle and it dying and not wanting to start repeatedly.. i diid a naxja search and decided to try the T.P.S. so we bought one and put it on upside down? iit was idling pretty high.. so we disconnected and flipped it.. seems to idle at a normal rate now ... but when you rev it and let off it doesnt come right back down the rpms linger and then fade down.. it only does this in park oor nuetral. in drive it seems to rev normally..
So it looked like it was going well and all ii had to do was find coolant leak.. but when i drove it it sputtered out and died on me ...
Any suggestions? oh yea didnt look like water in the oil or anything either
