ok so last saturday was supposed to be my first drift track event (didnt drive at all....) and i go and turn on my car on friday and i noticed the idle at 600 and then i felt like i was getting no power at all! some people say that it might be my MAF but i just wanted to make sure here are some vids:

1) IDLE VIDEO: when the car is idleing it sounds weird sounds like it cuts off every now and then and today i put my hand on the tailpip and i felt sprinkles of water here is the vid:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhoQigp_qqM

2) DRIVING VIDEO: so then i took my car for a drive and i still got no power and it would backfire everytime i went over 2000 RPMS here is the video: (sry if you cant hear the back fire wait until 1:27 to hear a good portion of it)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgFt-3XURmw

so whats the verdict guys? MAF or a bigger problem?? i really need help my baby has just been sitting in my garage for the last week. thanks everyone

Sounds like a boost/vacuum leak, or a problem with the MAFS.

The water from the tailpipe is normal condensation caused by the temperature change inside the exhaust.
