Hey guys...I just traded my ZJ that I had for this buggy. It is a 87 toyota pickup...well whats left of it anyway lol...It has a 22re out of a 94, it is all tubed, dana 60s front and rear with chromoly's...etc...anyway, I drove 5 hours to go pick it up....It happened to be raining the whole time...keep in mind no top or anything. Well it got soaked obviously...the fuse box is in an ammobox mounted to the firewall, it had about 3 inches of water in it, seats got soaked and everything...the ecu was on the inside mounted to the firewall, and I don't believe it got wet. I pulled it apart, and there wasn't any moisture in it, but there was water on the plugs after I pulled them around the pins.
Anyway, I went and picked it up, it was raining where we met at...but ran fine. We unloaded it off his trailer, and loaded it on mine, all good...the fuse box we wrapped up in a plastic bag, and put back into the ammobox, but it still got wet. Got home with it, and it started after pumping the gas pedal and ran like crap...went to give it gas and it stalled...so i put the dual transfercase into low and idled into the garage...put a fan on the seats to dry it out overnight...I was messing with it last night, got the compressor out and started drying the fuse box, and plugs and everything...pulled the air filter, it was not wet...noticed one of the clips for the plug wires was missing and it wasn't being held in...so I went and bought a new cap and plugs and put them on....same things
I unplugged the TPS and still have the same issue...I bought a computer off ebay...i don't think that is a problem, but figured a spare wouldn't hurt for 40 bucks....i did get it to idle last night, sputter a little bit at idle, but it would idle alright and stay running....you give it gas and it dies..
I don't really know where to start on this one...it ran fine when I picked it up, and now after being drenched in rain it does not...I did some research and people were saying the obvious water in distributor cap, and the tps was 2 main things that were usually affected by water. It is driving me insane!
Any thoughts or suggestions??
