Some Lakes have fish in them Some have Jeeps
Hello, Well I have quite the disaster to show you guys. I really need help getting my jeep working again after this mistake. I'll let the pictures tell the story and ask more specific questions and add details l8r. Thanks for your help. She is cranking but has no spark. :cowboy:
I really need help the no spark problem is odd. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...orly-stuck.jpg https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...nder-water.jpg https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...ew-carnage.jpg https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...-stuck-lol.png https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...e-type-mud.jpg https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...stuck-city.jpg https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...ter-rising.jpg https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...jeeps-them.jpg Safe at home. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...-home-safe.jpg Home sweet home. Glad to have her back and not across the damn lake. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...inaly-home.jpg Gutted the interior, All seats and Carpet are out.. working on getting everything dry. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...-seats-out.jpg Fuse box, is the Yellow box the computer? spraying all connections with Silicone based electronics cleaner / dryer https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...9-fuse-box.jpg Jeep is on it's way back to pavement. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...-lake-edge.jpg |
Dry? How deep did it get? Doesn't look like it was deep enough to get the interior wet...
Test the CPS and check for water in the distributor. Change the fluid in the axles, engine, transmission and transfer case. |
Did you check all of you connections. Might be good to remove some fuses and check to see if the connections have corrosion on them. Did it just stop running out while driving or after you got back from you trip.

Here are a few pics with the carpet out etc.. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...-product-1.jpg https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...et-removed.jpg https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...g-interior.jpg Did you check all of you connections.

I don't know where i'm going to come up with the money for this if it turns into something major. |
Just throw a cps on it ...

I've lived in a flood plane. Saved a few. Since you are manual trans you could come out OK. Once an auto is silted it's rare it will ever work long. It's a long list that will be spendy at a shop. The diff's, transfer case, tranny and engine all drained. For lack of a better idea I used a hand squirt bottle with kerosene to rice what I could in the diff trans and engine of an old Ford once.
I guess WD-40 is the army's 40th try at a product that displaces water. (Water Displacement-40)(stronger capillary action). I've also tried alcohol since it mixes with both water and oil base...major fire hazard and not sure it ever helped. You can check your CPS output with the info in my, or cruisers sig. If your flywheel is all mucked up you might pull the plate and clean in there, junk there could prevent the CPS from taking to the ECU. |

I guess once I saw that the dipstick had milky oil on it I decided to send it off to a pro. I'm hoping the dipstick looked milky bc some water ended up going down the dipstick tube. I'm going to call and check on it right now. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...7-jeeptow1.jpg https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...8-jeeptow2.jpg |
The milky dipstick is water in the oil. It can happen in the winters of the great white north if you don't warm the engine thoroughly. Condensation gets in the oil and causes a milky foam. It's probably best, in your case, to change the oil completely.

bump :-)

Oil & filter before you try to crank again.
You should have changed it before cranking the first time, but it's a little late now. Bearing damage may have already been done. Anything electrical is suspect at this point. It could be minor, could be major. Further diagnosis on-site is necessary. |
