I was in some deep mucky water with my tj for about 10 mins waiting to get pulled out. I never shut it off, but I was idling in some nasty s***. I think its the 02 sensor full of crap. My exhaust is all messed up and loose everywhere, so stuff probly got in there. The check engine light is on now, came on about 5 mins after idling in the water. I'm guessing the exhaust was sucking water in where its loose by the "y" pipe, thus maybe plugging up the o2 sensor? Any body have an idea why the check engine lights on now? It runs fine, and idles ok now that its dried out a little, but the lights still on.

try unhooking your battery for 15 mins or so then hooking it backup, On some vehicles this resets the computer.

Unhooking the battery worked on my 99TJ...It's worth a try.

Awesome, I'll try that tomorrow. You think the deep water/mud is the reason the "check engine" light is on? Maybe I should get it checked out to be sure. What are the downfalls of having a bad o2 sensor. Thanks guys.

disconnecting the battery will just clear the code. i would want to know why the light came on in the first place tto prevent it from coming back. a bad O2 sensor can cause the engine to run rough, and possibly destroy your cat. converter.

If the O2 sensor is bad the check engine light will come on again, and then you'll know to get it checked.

if you are near the northshore area, i have an OBDII, I can scan your code to see what it is, and delete it too. are you going with us on saturday? (4/9) I will bring it then if you are.

I will get it checked out at autozone. I need a whole new exhaust anyways. The hose clamps just are'nt cutting it anymore. Plus its about to fall apart at the y pipe. ;D thanks for all the help guys!
