bet you have no throttle response either..

look behind your air cleaner, there is a plug there.. unplug it, blow it out real good, put dieletric grease in it, clear your codes and see what she does... probably got water in that connector...

PS.. Don't ask me how I know..

Ditto on the air cleaner plug, it made mine throw codes because of fretting. It wouldnt hurt to check all the connections that you can see, clean and grease em. You got water in something. Here is a link for the codes.

behind the plug facing the engine is the release for it. pull the release lever towards the engine and slide the plug off.
