recently my s14 has started bucking sometimes in the rain. it only happens when its super wet out, rather than drizzling. my IAT isnt connected but i dont think thats the problem. any insight?

i think he meant the car jerks when accelerating, correct?

Change the Dizzy cap and rotor.

Wet filter or AFM getting wet, just a guess.

well what intake system do you have? that sounds like what the other people are saying, water in you filter, then the maf gets wet and messes with the readings, you must have a CAI. or a hole in your hood directly above your filter box...etc

i actually have stock airbox to the maf with the pipe from the bottom of the intake box running to the front bumper where my oem foglights used to be. i assume water is going up into the filter and the maf is getting a bad reading from there. if so, is there any damage i can do by having that setup the way it is, or should i just remove that pipe in general?

Clean maf,check filter,and remove that pipe
