So went out today with a bunch of rigs to Chivo. Decided to go through a mud hole out there even though i knew i shouldnt have and the jeep hasnt been runnign the same since lol. Did fine right after the mud hole but heading down reddington road to leave it started giving me problems. If i came to a complete stop it would want to die and when i was driving it down the paved road i had to keep reving it in neutral to keep it alive. Checked the fuel line and theirs fuel running through there fine. Not sure what the problem could be any advice woudl be appreciated. Never doing mud again! Ever!!!

Sounds to me like a sensor is wet. Most likely bet would be the O2 sensor, as it is usually mounted pretty low. It may just be a simple matter of disconnecting the connector and blowing it out.

I know on my rig there are a couple of sensors that don't like to get wet. Crawl underneath and dry out connectors, maybe blow them out with compressed air.
Like to help you out but going to Yuma early a.m., be back later in the week if you need help.

Its actually been doing a lot better and i havnt done anything to it yet. Every so often it feels like it takes a second for the jeep to get power when i give it gas but for the most part the problem has fixed itself.

I would check out the crankshaft sensor. I've got an 88 XJ and mine is located on the bellhousing. Maybe even check out your vacuum lines you could have a leak somewhere. But I would definetly check the sensors.

Wet distributor? I've seen it a hundred times, but usually the symptoms are immediate. Usually the same as you explained, loses power, needs to be reved to keep it alive. Can't hurt to pop the cap and spray some WD-40 in there. If it still acts up than you got some other sensor wet, although most will throw a code.

So went to autozone since i finally had some free time and had them troubleshoot the problem ive been having and found out was the throttle sensor. So $50 later problem has been solved, zjeep is back up and running at 100% for now.
