I had the same problem with mine the first time i got mine stuck in a creek down the road your starter if probly shot thats what was wrong with mine when i pulled mine off water came pourin out lol

 

My buddy went into a water hole with his 91 Wrangler at about 40, and it stopped like we threw out a boat anchor. We towed home, and pulled the plugs. Upon cranking it shot water out of the cylinders. We sprayed the cylinders out with WD40 and let it sit overnight, and dried the plugs out. It fired right up in the morning.

We drained about 10 quarts of pea soup and gravel out of the oil pan. Flushed the crankcase and did about 3 or 4 oil changes in a row till it came out clean. No bent rods...Still runs 5 years later.

Hopefully yours is that easy. Good luck!

 

Well i did hydro lock it, in 1 and 6 of the cylinders. Pumped it out sprayed it with WD, new spark plugs, new oil, and then i find out that my battery core also died on me so a new battery here in a few days

 

did you get it to run though? Like with another battery or jumpers or anything?

 

Yeah I would try what he^^ said before you drop some money on a new battery.

 

hey call me when you get up. ill drive out and drop my battery in and see if it'll start up. might wanna do another oil change too just to be safe...man wish i had a pic of the water squirtin outta the #1 cylinder and hittin you in the face HA HA

 

Alright, Update time. New battery, went to start it, and it's still not firing up. Just keeps cranking over, but it's seems like it wants to. Do any of you have any idea what may still be keeping it from starting?

 

Are you getting spark? If not check the cps.

 

Hey Update!!! It's running and starting!!!! I read on the forums that you can prime the cylinders by pushing the gas 5 times and she fired up rough and then leveled out!! now it's running pretty well but i know i should change the oil again, and I'm going to seafoam it

 

Good Plan! I am glad it worked out for you! Stay the hell out of the water! Or at least get good video!

 

i got the vid of him being pulled out lol...havnt had chance to load it...but i posted pics!!!

 

awesome to hear. glad you got her running again

 

i went thru a puddle just about as deep as that one got stuck and winched out then drove to culvers crank no start when i tried to head home… kinda worried the xjs done for probably not gonna mess around in the deep puddles after this one
