more flooded jeep saga
ok, after the salt water was up to the brake pedal switch.
1998 grand cherokee laredo original mileage 73,004
6cyl automatic, all electric
changed olil, and filter
replaced starter
replaced altinator
replaced battery
had tranny flushed, and added new filter
had rear end flushed and new lube
now added, new fuel pump,filter, etc.
added new belt
spark plugs,wires,rotor
literally soaked every thing i could hit with wd40, 8 cans worth
added sea foam to everything i could
it turns over like new, but no start, getting spark, getting fuel, timing is dead on.
Since the Jeep Dealer here still has 4-0 water in the showroom.
I have decided to have it towed to a mechanic I know, have
him replace every electrical part he can find one by one untill it starts.

If it is getting fuel and spark then why have the mechanic replace stuff. You never mentioned air is the air filter clean and the whole air intake system.
My old XJ would get the airfilter soaked when it had blowby and would not start until you pulled the air filter out then start right up. Just a thought.

Silicone under compression ignites and lubes.
Did this have a factory alarm by chance?

You say its getting fuel. is it possible that it is actually spraying water or a mix of water in the fuel to not let it fire.
Just throwing it out there.

How do you know 100% it's fuel? Water settles to the bottom and will smell like fuel.
