Hi all...
Performed my first oil change on the Grand Cherokee today. The engine bay was FILTHY, so I used the leaf blower to get a lot of the dust and dirt off.
Quite a bit of it didn't want to come off, so I grabbed the hose and rinsed the bay down. Didn't use any pressure, or anything like that, but I am like 90% sure it resulted in some water impacting the throttle control.
I took the car for a spin and immediately after pulling out of my neighborhood, the car started lurching, went into limp mode and the dash was flipping out with the "Service Electronic Throttle Control" warning, along with the CEL. I turned it around and went back to the house.
Car is running ROUGH and the throttle seems to be possessed... keeps pulsing open, closed, etc...
What do I need to do here? start pulling everything apart at the throttle body and allow it to dry? Think I did any sort of damage to the unit and/or sensor?
Any and all help is very appreciated!
