Ok I got lots of mud and water all over my engine it made a humming sound for a while but I spent a couple hours cleaning the jeep from head to toe after driving for about 40 miles the check engine light came on but before that it felt a little sluggish once in a while...Could it be when I was hosing the mud off the engine I soaked something I shouldn,t have??Thanks Geeb..

Turn your key on/off quickly 3 times without starting the vehicle. The odometer will do a check and return any code you may have. Then post or look up the code. It might be a simple as the TPS if you got too much water in there.[COLOR="Blue"]If you don't have the time to do it right, what makes you think you'll have the time to do it twice?[/COLOR]

Well I turned the key 3 or 4 times no code came up..But may be because I,ve got a 97 TJ a little older, anyway what,s the TBS ya,ll are talkin about and does it just go off? the engine light?"A man who fears suffering,is already suffering from what he fears"!

TPS is the Throttle Position Sensor and it doesn't like moisture. More often than not it'll throw a code when it gets wet. Mine does it like clockwork every time it rains, I get a P0122 code the day after, and then after 200 miles of driving, it goes away.[COLOR="Blue"]If you don't have the time to do it right, what makes you think you'll have the time to do it twice?[/COLOR]

My engine bay is a mess . . . I was thinking about washing it out this weekend after I clean all the crap off of my battery . . . what areas should you try to avoid getting much water into . . . where's the TPS? Can I put a bag or plastic wrap around it to keep most the moisture out?That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.
