Default Anyone want to take a stab at what the hell my motor is doing??

Ok car runs fine and has no issues, I turn it off when its hot and if I turn it back on before the engine totally cools off and try to take off it has no power and chugs along. Like this, you give it gas and it actually sounds like "chug chug chug chug" and has maybe 50 hp. So you give it almost full throttle and it goes a little quicker but still chugs along until, "BOOOOM" your getting sideways going down the road at full power with no warning. After I get it to come out of it it runs ok and doesnt do it again. It will also do this when it rains but never really stops doing it until it stops raining, even though it doesnt do it everytime it rains or everytime I hot start the car. Im thinking an 02 sensor shorting or getting water in it. Any ideas??

check the o2s and your maf, if your maf reads wrong, it wont get enough full and it will run like crap but when you go wot it goes into open loop mode and the maf isnt used

Just fixed that. My 02 wire had got cut. Fixed the wire and it just went away. Have fun running though the wiring harness.
