Well after this awesome rain storm I hit every puddle I could on my way home and just like the last time, I threw a CEL. WTH? Coincidence? Maybe... We'll see tomorrow when I get it checked but if it's another O2 sensor only 2 months later then something funny is happening.

The sensors on the throttle body are sensitive to water, especially the TPS. If you forced water all the way up there through the bottom....
Most likely an O2 though.

Good news, CEL light is off this morning. Must have been an overload of water, duh. I am going to have to look into those sensors and see if we can't protect them more from splash ups. More rain today which means more puddles to hit driving to work. Gotta take what you can get some days to put a smile on your face.

Di-electric grease on all the connectors, and then just because I am ****, I wrap the connection joints on my sensors with water-tight tape.
