Hi All,
Here's the tech details story,
So i've got a 98 xj with a 3.5 lift and 31's. I was wheeling last sunday and hydrolocked the engine is a deep puddle. In the field i took out the spark plugs and water filter then spun the engine with the starter. Good amount of water came out. Also dried the intake with a rag and fished around to get it as dry as possible before replacing the plugs and wheeling for the rest of the day. She ran OK
Next day after i got back i replaced the oil and oil filter and checked for crud in the intake; oil seemed ok too.
Now it can;t idle well at all, and when i hit the gas she'll rev up well and then die rather than coming back to idle. I checked the pistens via the plugs and they seem to be firing but it still skips a beat a few times a minute (via the dollar bill on the exhaust test).
Runs well when cold but once it heats up it's crap; and runs terribly when it is raining.
Is it sensors (MAP, TPS, IAC)? Did i bend a rod" Break a valve? What do you think i'm planning on doing a cumbustion test with a guage on the cylinders tomorrow and put a meter on the sensors (if i can get it to stay running).
HELP! THANKS
