So I did an Offroad competition yesterday called Fall Crawl consisting of a log course, rock garden, and a creek run. Things went good till the last event, creek run, and I hit a hole that was splashed water/mud over the hood on drivers side. Jeep immediately threw cel and barely was running. I limped it through the rest of the course and ended up winning overall in 36" and under class! But today it's still idling rough and the cel is on. Ordered a code reader today. Also noticed the trans wasn't shifting soon enough....it wanted to rev too high before upshifting. The air filter was wet so I replaced it already. I'll read codes when I can, but until then does anyone have an idea what happened? Tps? Cps?

So do you think the tps is toast or will it dry out?

Without knowing the codes it's impossible to diagnose.

Impossible?! Really frank lol? Unplugged the tps and it ran perfect! Ill leave it unplugged and shift manually until I get a new tps.

Anyone know if napa tps are any good or should I stick to oem?
