stalled out won't restart
I drove through a puddle on the road from melting snow that was about 8" deep and my 2013 JK stalled out and wont restart. Water came up onto the hood. I thought maybe it was fuel because my light was on so I put enough in to shut the light off. Still won't start.

Have you considered the possibility of a hydrolock?
|
Can't see that it would be. It rolls when I turn the key. Just doesn't fire.
|
Did you pull out the air filter and check the oil for water? Best case you have some wet electronics that need to dry, worst is hydrolocked..
|
An 8" puddle caused water to come up over the hood? Are you saying that it splashed up on the hood or that the hood was somehow submerged?
|
Did you check the air filter? The position of the JK air intake leaves it vulnerable to hydro lock when splashing through puddles.did you try to start it today?
|
I tried it today. Still no go. It's at the dealer right now. The puddle splashed up over the hood when I drove through it. Why would they make the air intake such that it's so easy to hydro lock? That just seems messed up. How do I fix that when I get it back?

Regardless, the answer to your question is a snorkel. https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...66395148_n.jpg Still, Jeeps without snorkels take on some pretty deep water (skip to 38 seconds if you're in a hurry) ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLkNU8d8w-c |
Guessing you hit a puddle going fast and water splashed all over under the hood.
Dealer will most likely said your #4 coil pack is fried (shorted out) and they won't cover it under warranty because it was caused by "off roading" your trail rated Jeep....Stupid I know, already been there. |
