Okay I don't know what happened to my car...

it was running perfect yesterday, then I went to a friends house left it parked overnight in the rain, then today, when I started it, it wouldn't idle. It would start up, but if I let off the gas it would just die. First I thought I was out of gas, so I drove down to the gas station and filled it up. But that didn't help at all. Its acted like this before when one of my intercooler pipes were loose, but I've checked all of them and they all seem good. Everytime I pull up to a stop light, it just dies. I tried to rev it up and it seemed to hesitate when it got to 6000 rpm's? I'm even more confused.

Someone Help. Do you think water could have gotten in my fuel lines somehow? If its not the IC piping, what else could it be that's causing this?
 
I've got the same problem, I thought it might have to do with fuel delivery but thats not it, I even check my fuel filter. I then changed plugs and am waiting for wires to arrive. I'm almost thinking that its possible that my isc could've gone bad...so I'm gonna swap that out next...
 
oldman thanks for the chart... I think i need to check my injectors, I'm still not sure it that's it though.

If anyone else has other ideas please let me know.
