so... did you make it home (let's hope so!)

it would seem to me to check every dang sensor out there, don't worry about the cps, the connector is on top near the intake manifold.

Hit them up with syl-glide (silicone grease, it's cheap at napa. You can also buy dielectric grease which is the same stuff only more expensive) as well- electrical connectors, battery terminals, grounds, etc. Petroleum jelly is said to work, but I never tried using it.

Also do a compression test, but I doubt that'd show anything abnormal. I think you may have mucked up a sensor reading as the connector got wet or something.

 

hydrolocked would be my guess check to see if you have water in the oil

 

might want to change fluids in transmission, tcase, and axles as well if they have taken on water. That's the downside to playing in lakes and rivers with a Jeep.

 

fuel pump if it will run on ether for a bit

 

Check your air filter is it wet & or muddy??

 

it was running when they jerked ya? pull out your spark plugs and roll the engine over (try and start it with out the spark plugs in) and see if any water shoots out of the holes. sounds to me like you might have taken a drink!

 

thanks for the info guys. but i found the problem it was a burnt fuseable link for my mulit port injection.. i re wired it and she fired right up..

i did have a tone of mud , water in the exhause but my new flowmaster acted like a filter as they had to winch me out backwards..lol

Glad you got home OK, but since you mentioned it, pulling you out backwards could have induced the stall. Excessive water in the exhaust could have effectively blocked the flow of exhaust, which would cause a stall. If it can't breathe out, it can't breathe in either...
