I have a 2008 rubicon 500. Me and my wife went riding yesterday the bike was running great until we went into a little bit of water. Not any deep water not even over a few inches. Now when you are D1,D2, or ESP if you press on the gas it goes but it bogging down. I checked the card and the main jet was clean. When i do the self dignostics test i i get 5 blinks. Could it be my angle sensor?

It's possible, Code 5 is the angle sensor system (motor lock). I would check the connectors to the angle sensor and shift motor and make sure they're clean and dry and I would put dielectric grease on the connections. I would try that before buying an angle sensor.

I did take the connector off the angle sensor and took a aircompressor and blow it out. But I have not takin the angle sensor off the motor yet. Would a angle sensor cause this problem? It cranks and run's fine but when you go to take off and you give it alot of gas it just bogg's down.

Would a angle sensor cause this problem?

It's possible, but to be honest, I don't know a whole lot about the Hondamatic transmissions. This is how to check the angle sensor system, according to the service manual.
