Man this is not fun.

 

There's nothing you mentioned that is good. You need some serious drying out to happen. Given the oddities, my guess is wiring connections. Hopefully not internal damage. I'm not sure of the engine durability trying to compress water. I wish you good luck.

 

You may have some serious problems as mentioned. First thing I'd do is drain and replace your oil, filters, etc.... Might not hurt to pull your spark plugs and let your cylinders dry. Maybe drain your fuel and replace it with fresh fuel and swap your fuel filter. You'll likely need new spark plugs too. New air filter and make sure you take your intake off and dry it out completely. You may have fried the air intake sensor too. After all that, run any remaining codes and see what you've got. I would STRONGLY recommend against driving that jeep until it is squared away. If you push you're luck, you'll be buying an engine, that is if you don't have to already.

 

I'd bet the bank it hydrolocked.

 

Connect a leaf blower to the air intake and let it run until it dries the engine out?

 

I dont know what those words mean

 

Not now if it runs, but the noises you describe could be indicative of having sucked in enough water to bend something. I'd look at leakdown and compression tests before I spent anymore money swapping out parts that may or may not be the issue.

 

Jeeps....

 

It doesn't have to be locked up to have hydrolocked. You can hydrolock an engine enough to bend components and then have it continue to run "like a diesel with the power of a 4 banger". As a matter of fact, that's a classic example. However, I hope for your sake that I'm wrong. Good luck

 

That's why I suggested a leakdown and a compression test before changing out more parts.
