sunk the xj.. not hydrolocked but running ruff

[Silverstreak01]

was out paragon in the play area and sunk it went in it was over the hood did not stall out though.. started climbing out it stalled.. started it up about 3 times then finally nothin. pulled it out banged on the starter the muck was just poring out .. she started back up but idles pretty ruff. pressure washed everything really good but it idles like crap.. and it stalled out going down the onramp to the interstate...and i dont have as much get up and go power as i did.. my know it all (well almost all) jeep buddy is at work today so just maybe wanted to see what i could start doing to get it back running good.

thanks

Pull plug wires and plugs...clean plugs and blow out wires.
pull distributor cap and clean...Make sure it is dry.
Check air filter and see if it is caked with mud.

make sure your radiator is clear of mud...Don't want to over heat it.

Start there and check back. And also check your diffs and see if they are full of water...maybe check the tranny fluid for mud also.

[87manche]

did you get the TPS wet?

[Silverstreak01]

new airfilter. new plugs, oil change and filters still low oil pressure went up a bit still stalling

[jmsull]

could you have gotten water in the exhaust? would that cause problems like you are having? just a thinking out loud.

I'd start unpluging sensors and inspecting/cleaning connections.

you could have still bent a rod or two even if it doesnt make noise.

sounds like you may have damaged some bearings, only the oil pump if your lucky. Was there metal in the oil?

[Silverstreak01]

not that i could see. i still have the oil in the container il take a closer look.

i've dunked my XJ in quite a bit of water and i keep a spare TPS in the glovebox just for such occasions.
