Default Car stalls in wet weather!!!!

Every Freakin time it rains or I go over a puddle my car stalls
and goes into lymp mode. Never fails. First I thought water was
getting into o2 sensor connectors(dropped frontend+longtubes)
so I covered them with electrical tape. Still the same problem.

Now its been like that for 3 days! I disconnected the battery
over night and still have the same problem. Im fed up
Has anyone have the same problem? Or heard of something similar
and again its only when it rains other than that I never have
problems with my DD camaro.

It's not the connectors, it's the O2 sensors themselves. They have a vent in them for a fresh air supply, and if a drop of water blocks off the hole, it doesn't send a proper signal.

Other possibility is ignition wires of course.
