Rough idle after off-roading

[Heather inOC]

Did some off-roading today and now the trac is running really rough. I know there was some water that got under the hood, but it's been 5 hours since I went and I would have thought things would be dried out by now. The check engine light is on and it keeps stalling. Any suggestions?

Do you know what code it is reporting?

 

[Jeff C]

Open air filter? It's possible you got your MAF sensor dirty after your truck inhaled some water.

 

[Heather inOC]

how do I clean the sensor?

There is a project on it Heather.

Heather,

Have the code read before you play around with anything else. If you have an Autozone near you they will read it for free and I'm sure a lot of other places will do it too.

There is no project on cleaning the MAF, Only the IAC...



Looking at what you did, I bet it is a silly wiring connection, Loose hose, or a dirty something..



Have the code read at a local store...

The auto zone on Raymond & Commonwealth has a code reader they should let you use to read it (at least they lent one to me to use in their parking lot). Or, if all else fails, you can use my ScanGage to read it. I am home at the moment.

okay the xcal gave me 4 error codes:

P0190

P0191

P2196

P2198



Anyone know what they mean?

[Heather inOC]

I was able to find 2 of the 4 I think. Does this sound right??



P0190 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction

P0191 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance



P0190 FRP Sensor Signal Low.

P0191 Engine Fuel Temperature Sensor circuit.



Seems strange to me

I was told by the mechanic that I've been going to that if the differential gets completely submerged you need to change the diff. fluid.

The thing is is that the picture is of me going pretty fast, so there's a lot of splash, but the water was only 4-6 inches deep. I'm really kinda bummed out that this puddle has sidelined the trac

i have been in water to my doors with no problems but i drive slow in mud and water.cool pic though.this is 8'' to 12'' of mud

Check your air filter to see if it needs to be cleaned, too. And, since your cleaning things you might as well clean the IAC motor using ToddZ's project.

You know what, that's right. I recently cleaned the MAF myself using info I scrounged up from old messages. For some reason since then, my mind thinks there is a project on it. Sorry for the bad info Heather.

heather must say....those are some nice shots!

 

[Mike Caldwell]

I was going decently slow

the front diff. had water in it after that. but no rough idle just a squeaky belt. Try letting everything dry out and reset the battery and see if you get the codes back, because everything might be wet or maybe just knocked around enough to come loose. sorry I can't be of more help.
