So I was out wheeling the other day, and wound up in a brook. The water was over the hood, into the interior, etc... The gas tank never got wet. I winched it out, changed the oil about 6 times, tranny juice 2x. I'm still having difficulty keeping it running.
It floods very easily, changed the injectors.
If i unplug the fuel pump it starts and runs well, starves itself, I plug it back in, and it floods.
Changed the MAP sensor (or was it a MASS AIR) runs better, but UGH!
Any ideas would be much appreciated. My last guess is the O2 sensor and the return fuel line. I've never seen this much trouble with an injected I-6 :rattle:

TPS seems to very sensitive to water, I'd check it with a meter at least.

Compression was fine. Replaced the tps out of a $200 parts vehicle. Its getting frustrating it just runs rich (RICH!) your eyes burn from the exhaust.
I just bought a O2 sensor I am Hopeful...
