I read what Protetype wrote about the hesitation problem on the Protege, but I don't think my problem is as easily fixable. Ever since I got the evo hood I have had big problems after it rains. The will get very non-responsive, when I hit the gas it pretty much only revs, and has very little go to it. I am trying to determine which parts are getting wet that is causing a problem. The car is just kind of putting a bit. Like for example if you put your hand behind the exhaust you will feel the air come out in spurts. Now I checked all of my connections on the Injen intake, and they are secure. So I am almost positive it has to do with the water. The water will usually get itself flushed out within a day but this has been going on for about a week now, and it doesn't look like it is going to get any better. I am getting a blinking CEL light which I know is serious.

I took some pictures... but I it was too dark out... they turned out bad.... Basically all you do is cut the innertube so that you have a flat piece... I just cut a large square... placed it over the intake MAF opening, traced the hole with a pen... cut the circle out with scissors... Put the shaft of the MAF through the hole... and cut around the MAF to shape it... Installed.

The wires should be alright. I always carry a towell with me so when I have to park and it is raining I toss it over the hood scoops. It is definately the seal because everything runs fine during the small amount of time when it is sealed up. I will just try again tomorrow with the tire part. But there are no bike shops around me so is the inner tube of a tire something I might be able to pick up at walmart?
