Hi guys
I just recently got my 97 TJ wrangler sport 5 speed manual and i was exploring some dirt roads when I came across a huge pond in the road i think the snow melted and created it in the middle of the road anyways i tried to do a three point turn to get out of there and I fell in and the jeep was in water up to the top of the fender flares and it has a 4 inch lift with 33's so it was pretty bad. the water was in to my knees and i tried as much as i could to get it out of the water but i couldnt.
8 hours later i got it winched out and towed back to my place. as far as i know no water got in the intake but it still wont start.
today i changed the oil and removed all the spark plugs and tried to crank it to see if i could get some of the water out but nothing happened. everything turns on but the engine is just quiet. when i tired to turn it on too the clutch was really really stiff and hard to push down.
idk because i live in north dakota and its below freezing outside so maybe the water is frozen inside the engine? im not sure but how should i go about reviving my jeep or am i screwed?
