if water gets on the 02s for example a deep puddle , they will act up . they should dry out and work that or just replace them with the bosch .

Is it fine at full throttle? Just it just hesitate in the lower rpms with partial throttle? Check plugs/wires and O2's. Even misfires should flash intermittent SES lights.
