Wet highway puddle problem
 

Hi professors,
When I'm traveling long distance on the highway and I hit a puddle I
notice my TJ I6 looses power and slowly regains power and gets back up
to speed in a matter of (I thinnk) several seconds. I say "I think"
because I haven't traveled for a few years but am planning a trip soon.
The first thing I thought of was the generator needed a cowl but it
seem well protected. What may be causing this puddle power loss?
Thanks,
Steve

The act of driving through a puddle an inch deep takes a lot more
horsepower, and will naturally slow you down. Kind of like the sand trap
at the end of a drag strip, or the ones you see along side of freeways,
are designed to stop trucks.

While you are IN the puddle, the water will slow you down. If the slow-down
is after the puddle, the only thing I can think of is water on one or more
of the pulleys causing the belt to slip, but that shouldn't reduce your
power..
