Default Bunch of error codes after rain storm.

I got stuck in this big storm that hit us a few days ago, and I hit a decent size puddle and pretty soon after my service engine light is on and the car is driving like crap. A lot of stuttering / chugging / lunging not sure what you'd call it but it's not good. I was assuming I fried an 02 sensor and I finally got an it hooked up to see the codes and these are the codes I'm getting.

The car is an 02 TA Firehawk. all stock aside from headers / exhaust.

c0890
c0550
These 2 are ABS Codes from what I could find.

P0151 - H02S21 circuit condition (heated oxygen sensor bank 2 sensor 1)

P0171 - Fuel trim bank one condition

P0174 - Fuel trim bank two condition

P1380 - Misfire detected, rough road data unusable. The ECM has detected a misfire but was unable to detect a rough road condition due to a ABS system malfunction

P0300 - Cylinder misfire detected - random cylinders

Aside from the ABS thing which isn't related to the engine misfire, could 1 bad O2 sensor cause all of this? I'm going to head to autozone now to get an oxygen sensor to replace the one noted in the error code.

Also does anyone have any ideas on the ABS Codes ? I couldn't find anything from a quick google search..

Thanks

you got your abs sensors in the wheel hubs wet. not uncommon. i put new front wheel hubs on my truck last summer which have integrated abs sensors, drove south with the truck and hit a monsoon in NC on the highway, set off both front ABS sensor DTC's. got to where i was going, cleared the codes, never came back and never had a problem since. so i would clear your codes and see what comes back in dry conditions before you do anything. maybe unplug each o2 sensor and check the plugs for bad/burnt/corroded pins then reseat them, and you should monitor them with a scanner to see if they are switching fast enough. one o2 sensor would not cause p0171 and p0174. but given a wet condition it may have been water into the maf and intake causing everything, especially if you have a modified or aftermarket intake.

It's a blackwing airlid assembly that came with the car... I did notice tho that there is a nickel sized hole in the drivers side of the air lid with some kind of rubber grommet inside of it but the hole leads right into the airbox. Is that supposed to be there or is there a plug missing?

Post a pic. It could be two things: IAT or a tube thats supposed to connect to the AIR system.

This isn't of my airlid. This is just a pic i found on the internet.
The black plastic part on the right side of the pic with the 90 degree elbow in it is what mine is missing. It has a hole there but no hose or anything else going into it. There is a sensor plugged into it towards the back of the airlid tho.
I'll post pics of mine when i get a chanc.e

Yellow is the IAT and red is for the AIR system. I'd plug the hole as its bypassing your filter.

I'll try that and see if it helps how its running. I dont have a scanner to delete the codes so I'll be bringing it up to auto zone tomorrow to do that real quick and see what comes back.

The car won't run any different with the hole plugged, but it should be plugged.
