The problems on a 98 TJ but OEM Jeep nonetheless...I took the TJ wheelin about a week ago and got stuck up to the bottom of the doors in water. I drove it 80ish miles home and it ran fine BUT on the way home the alternator died so I drove it till the battery died and right before the battery died the check engine light came on.
Anyways I get it back from the mechanic and the Check Engine light is still on and it runs funny now, upon start-up it'll revv up to 2k rpm's and drop down to about 200 at idle after 30 seconds. It runs rough at idle and stalls from time to time when going from reverse to forward or forward to reverse.
Are these symptoms of water under the distributor cap? How do I cure this? Pull the cap and shoot WD-40 in, let dry and restart?
