Sorry but a towel draped over the PCM isn't gonna prevent moisture on it especially if the towel gets soaked

You apparently have moisture causing an electrical short. Get some dielectric grease to seal connections. I had a car act like this until I took the plug wires off and put dielectric grease on the leads. You may need to coat the PCM connectors also, as suggested by RE and CHERYL.

when i spray my engine i always take the air compressor hose and go over each connector until they are completly dry. i know not everyone has it but i feel its that important.
