Drove through water - Electronic Throttle control indicator

[docjeep]

Drove through a flooded parkway last night, tons of water, and immediately got the Electronic Throttle control light indicator. It disappeared the next morning, but now the I don't have the same acceleration as before. Engine seems to be struggling.
Took it in and dealership service advisor said it should improve once water dries out.

Any other thoughts or ideas?

Reminds me of the old Throttle Positioning sensors in my XJ that would do that if I got water remotely near it.

yeah, i'm thinking it's a sensor issue.

any other ideas?
