Default power comes and goes after driving in rain

I was driving the other day and got caught in a huge downpour of rain. Somehow it even fouled out the voltage regulator in my alt- but i already replaced that. Problem is now that sometimes it will all the sudden act like it has hardly any power, running rough. Then all the sudden the power will just instantly come back and feel perfect/strong again. It has no ses light and i checked and it has no stored codes. Right after the rain when i noticed this i assumed my o2 sensor(s) were fouled from all the water, but could my o2s make the power come and go that way without throwing any codes? I havent had much time to work with it- just trying to narrow it down so when i get a chance i can get right to the problem. thanks

I'd start looking at O2 sensors and the MAF.
