Hi all,
I've been wheeling my 92 XJ in central PA and there have been several occasions when I've crossed water a foot or so deep and the engine cuts right out, then won't start again right away. After as minute or so of sitting in the puddle, I can start it, and go on my way. If I crawl across the water--and what fun is that?--it doens't stall. I took it through some mucky mud this weekend and had no problems, but as soon as I was splashing the water around, it stalled. Any ideas on how to diagnose/eliminate this problem? The rig has a rebuilt engine that doesn't feel as strong as an original stock engnine and is stock height with 235/75R15 BFG AT's that love to rub when I go over bumps. I'll get around to getting it lifted eventually. . . But for now, just would like to cross water without having to shrug my shoulders at my girlfriend!
