Lol Milt, I was just out in the garage with a heat gun to see if i could dry it out enough to start. And I don't run it hard when cold...I let it get good and warm before "running it through" the stutter.

Warren, it is a coupe and the problem isn't that anything is actually wet so to speak. We just get some unbelievable humidity here, the kind where you can be sitting reading on a 78 degree day and you are drenched from sweating because there is so much moisture in the air. The car isn't musty or damp inside and I was just looking at the ECU connectors, which look good, but I will clean them off.

There is a cold front headed this way this afternoon and I think that will cure this episode, but I would like to find the cause of the problem. Is it possible that it might be a faulty sensor that is making the mixture too rich when the barometric pressure is high? It's been around 29.86in.
