Long story short. Ran into large hole. Was deeper than I thought. Took 2 mudders to drag me out. Assuming it hydro locked because it wouldn't turn over so I pulled plugs and spun muddy water out and tried to blow out with air. It now turns over but won't crank. I'm trying to get it moved but a wreckers gonna be high dollar so if I can fix it there, I'd like to. Guess the question is there a fix or do I suck it up and call a tow truck? Ideas and suggestions??

 

Make sure the distributor was dry? If it does fire I'd recommend changing the oil there before you go any where. Also possible a few plugs/sensors just got wet and it will fire after it dries out.

 

Thanks! Bought new plugs and wires and will go tomorrow and recheck distributor as well.

 

TPS hates water...

 

Don't start buying parts till you are sure it's dried out!

 

Start buying. Diff fluids. Tranny fluid. More tranny fluid. Plugs. Wires. Cap. Rotor. Coil. TPS. CPS. MAF. IAC. Oil x 6 oils changes. So, 6 filters. Air filter. 3/8 steel line and hose clamps. Haha. Probably more. That's what I had when I sank mine, unbelievably not a bent rod or anything she runs better than she did before..

 

Definitely change all the fluids; oil, diffs, trans. I hydro locked my other jeep twice. The first time we pulled the plugs and a wave of water came out, then kept cranking it till the wires had spark, put the plugs back in and drove it home. No, it was not happy haha. The second time I bent a rod, and when I left it in the woods all my windows got smashed out. RIP.

 

If it turns over, that is cranking. Maybe you meant it wouldn't fire.

Get it to a shop as soon as you can for further diagnostics. I don't think field fixes are a good idea at this time.
