Default car running weird

well guys, the mod list in the sig and i just have no idea what is going on... first off i do have the delteq system on the car and that car has been running great until last weekend when i drove through a very big puddle and since then the car has just been acting up. i can crank the car up and drive her around until she warms up fine... but once the car warms up and is very odd. she will go when i floor it or give it a lot of gas, car excelrates fine, but if i just give it a little bit of gas she will act up and by that i mean the rpms will drop and it sounds like it is breaking up. but as soon as i floor it, she goes great. when i come to stops the car has trouble idling. but here is the kicker... when the check engine light comes on, if it comes on i mean, it wont come on everytime i drive her... the car will drive just like normal as soon as the check engine light comes on. i tried doing the paper clip trick, but it did not work at all. i couldnt even get it to pop up a code 12. so any and all help is really needed guys. thanks alot

daniel

99% it's something to do with the o2 sensors.

works fine when cold + at wot = the 2 times the o2 sensors are not used

btw is it still for sale? sorry, couldn't help but follow your posts a little possibly still interested in a few weeks.

oh and the paper clip deal does not work on 94+ you need a code scanner to read it.
