It does sound like water hitting the MAF, which used to happen to me all the time before I moved my filter.

i do need to move my filter pretty bad but i havnt had it in the rain in a long time for that reason so im pretty sure thats not it ... clueless on gap and how to check it but i just replaced them about 4000k miles ago along with the coil and wires and i got my wideband up today and it seems to be running lean at WOT and used to run rich .. idk i had the motor rebuild about 6000k ago so i dont see there being any issues there but i could be wrong im clueless :/ figured out the hard way when some tool wanted to go on the highway ... sigh
