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

Re: Wet highway puddle problem
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.

Re: Wet highway puddle problem
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..
