Default Car runs horrible in wet weather

As title says, it will idle fine but after taking off, something is getting wet and the car will start to stutter, hesitate, etc and try to stall when im not giving it gas.

I had it checked out last time and they replaced my 02 sensor, it worked fine for a couple of weeks.

Anybody have a similar problem? I really need help with this, have to be at the airport in 8 hours

Check to make sure exhaust cant easily access the o2 sensor. You might also put the car on jack stands and start it up, spray the o2 sensor wiring and connections with water and see if it starts to act up....

I had the same problem and it was my 02 sensors as well, water was getting in them whenever it rained, take them off and make sure they are really sealed up
