Default 02 sensors getting wet? (Longtubes)

For some reason lastnight while driving home from the movies my car started studdering at a stop light. It was raining, but not hard and I didn't go through any large puddles or high water. After a while of this studdering and a few other stops, the SES light came on. So when I arrived at my girlfriend's house I turned the car off and searched for any problems. Nothing looked disconnected or burned. The car sat for about an hour or so, and when I went to crank it back up it was perfectly fine, but with the SES light still on. What could have happened here?

You must scan for codes, could be anything. If you don't have a scanner go to auto zone they will scan for free.

Wouldn't cause car to stutter, I'm guessing misfire codes, wires too close to headers have damaged them and now they are arcing?

Same thing happened to me. I think the o2 extention wire got burned by the header then got wet. I have a new o2 extention on the way. I also was given a new o2 sensor just incase it's the sensor. My light is still on 2 weeks later.

It seems like a lot of times peoples homemade 02 extensions are the cause of the problem.

Well, the light went off today. I think the sensor got wet or nicked someting to set off the code, but now its ok. We have the 02 extensions that you can buy. The ones that you make homemade suck because we tried them. Thanks for the replies.
