problem getting wet

[iamcool]

i am fairly new to the jeep scene..and i have a 95 wrangler with the 4 cly.. i have added custom wheels and 31x10.5x15 tires and have found a love for trails and mud and large holes filled with water.. but every time i get wet even a little it starts skipping and spuddering like its running on 2 or 3 cly... i removed the distib cap and sealed it and ran a sealed vent tube into the cab wich helped alot untill i went fast through the water then it does it again.. after about 30 min it clears up... any ideas on how to prevent this

There could be alot of things getting wet.One could be the fuse box under the hood.there is another post here some where that had everything you need to do to water proof your jeep.After I read it I decided to stay out of the water.:lol:

Here's a thought. how about letting the engine idle with the hood up. grab your water hose with a spray nozzle, and try spraying a little bit on different areas of the engine and isolate the cause for the sputtering.

Well i did as u said and found it was the front two plug wires... I sprayed water over them and it started spuddering.. It was dark so i turned out the flashlight and the engine bay looked like the forth ofn july so i will install new wires tommorrow.. Any sugestions on brand.. Thanks for the help

I have no recomendations on a brand name Ignition wires. a Set From Napa thats a high suppresion Wires will do the job. A suggestion would be to dab some Dielectric grease on all the boot interior. use a Cue tip to spread the grease in the boot. it keeps the moisture out of the terminals that eventually causes corrosion.
