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?

Without knowing the codes it's impossible to diagnose.
