Car: 97' Kouki RB25 powered

Post

OK I searched the site and nothing came up so time to lay my problems on the pros...

I have a RB25 swapped 97' Kouki. The car is running on the Power FC and it was running great till the rain came in today.

Now this is my problem...

I got in the car this morning and it started up great. Got out on the road and started to drive and it started to buck and hesitate. My guess is the MAF got a little moisture and now it's in limp mode. I can't push the car more than 5% throttle and it will barely move. So my car is throwing a fit and it's kinda pissing me off.

So immediately I pulled off the MAF, because the filter is behind the bumper and seems to have gotten wet. So I separated the filter, MAF, and piping and ran inside to dry out my MAF. I know they are really sensitive so I just used the cool function of the blow dryer, not sure if the heat would hurt it or not but I didn't wanna risk it.

So now I'm at a stand-still and I'm waiting for morning to throw it back in. And I also plan on relocating the filter to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Am I heading in the right direction? Is there anything else I could do? What other things would cause this?

Thanks in Advance......
