Ok guys.....I'm posting here even though my car is a P5 on the outside she's a MSP on the inside. (thumb)
I've attached my mod list at the bottom to help diagnose the problem.
After going to a "modified" stock MSP turbo setup 2 years ago, I've had a problem that I've been able to deal with but now will not go away. Whenever it rains really hard and there is standing water my car stalls and wont restart properly. The car turns over but with any load/gas it bogs and shuts off. The fix is to tow it home (thank God for AAA) and let it dry out. Give it a few hours (up to 12 hours) and I'm back on the road. Two weeks ago (the weekend of the floods here in Nashville) it happened again but this time it's down for the count. It threw a cel code (I dont' have the code in front of me right now, I'll post it later) that points to the MAF or MAF Circuit Intermittent.
I purchased and installed a new MAF and the problem still occured. I unplugged the sensor and sure enough the car fired up and was driveable. It ran like crap but it still drove....which it would not have if I plugged the sensor back in.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you think it's in the wiring or the the ECU? I would really appreciate your input and help. That's what makes this place so awesome!
Mod list that pertain to the problem:
Stock MSP ECU
FMIC and custom hardpipes
SSAFC V1 (note: it has not been properly tuned, drives great in the cold and just ok in really hot temps)
HKS blow off valve 8 inches before the MAF
Adjustable cams and J-Spec FS-ZE intake cam shaft
