I've read I don't know how many threads on the CPS and it being a possible culprit for no start/stalling issues. I spent about an hour today trying to get the damn thing off today, no luck. I can't get a ratchet on it.
Anyway, my Jeep was recently submerged in quite a bit of water and stalled when it hit the deep water. I've been tinkering with it today as it wouldn't start, just cranked. I took out the computer and water dripped out of it when I tipped it upside down. I've tried drying it out as best I could. When I plugged it back in, the Jeep will start up, but will only run for about 1-2 min. and then shut down and won't start back up for awhile. Also, a few minutes after it shuts down, the relays in the fuse block under the engine start clicking on/off very rapidly for a few minutes. If I unplug the ECM, it stops.
So, the question is: Is it a bad ECM or is this be the CPS??? I really don't want to spend another hour getting frustrated trying to take the CPS out only to find out it's not the problem.
