Default Yet another misfire issue

Before I begin, I have already searched for help on this topic and found none so here we are...

My car is throwing several codes, when it does it seems to be always raining and wet out, as a matter of fact, all this started when Tropical Storm Ernesto came throught the area here.

The following codes have always come up together and the cart runs shitty and has even died on me twice. I am at a loss to explain this so I need your help...



P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylider Misfire
P0132 - O2 Circuit 1, Sensor 1 High Voltage
P1133 - O2 Insufficent Switching, Bank 1, Sensor 1
P1637 - Generator L Terminal Circuit

I am aware this may be due to a bad O2 (I am planning on changing soon, just wondering if anything else could be to blame), but why would it only happen when raining/wet? Also, The last code has happened from time to time without the misfiring, so what would need to be done to fix it. See my Sig for Current mods. Thanks for looking

O2s can cause the first 3 issues, I'm unfamaliar with the fourth.

If you have any sort of exhaust leak I suppose the moisture from the rain could seep in and cause troubles with the o2 sensor.

You could have water causing a short somewhere, a loss of voltage can cause very strange off the wall codes.

Well, I actually tuned it up when I put the headers on the car, (which I just noticed is not listed in my signature) but I did not replace the O2 sensors. I will go ahead and change them and see what happens as that seems to be what the majority consenus is. Thanks for yopur help and I will post an update soon.

Do yourself a favor and buy the Bosch p/n 13111 O2s.
