Ok to start this off. I have an open hood scoop and when it rains, the inside of my motor gets soaked. I know I need to fix that but the damage has already been done. i have had my started wire burned up and got my lights messed up. I fixed them. I have the powerworks supercharger with the powerworks cold air intake. My air sensor on there got wet and so did all my other wires.
I tried to blow them off with my air hose but the problem still exist. Now here's the problem. I'll be driving the car normal and then all of a sudden I will lose complete power to the point where the car just shuts off. Sometimes I will try to start it and have nothing but then other times i can pull over shut the ignition off, then turn it on, then it will start up and I can go. Sometimes this will happen 2 to 3 times a day, other times i can go days without it happening. I've aleady had my battery and alternator already checked and their in good working condition. Just so you know that when i do lose power i do still have electrical power, light, etc. My speedometer, tachometer dies and my motor. Everything else works. Please Help!!

The open hood WILL NOT hurt anything...If all the connections are good it is fine.

Motorcycles get driven in the rain all the time ( at least mine does) and they never have issues with water if the connections are good. We also have several members on FF with open hoods and they have no issues in the rain.

You prolly have a bad main connection at the battery, take "em off, clean em, reinstall with dielectric grease and make sure they are tight.

Try that first. Oh, when using air to dry, don't blast it straight at electronics, as it will force the water into them if the pressure is high enough.

i have had this same exact problem with my 02 svt and the only mods i have are a short ram intake, tom's tune, and an exhaust. Most of the time i just turn the ignition off and on and it goes back to normal. It happens very rarely, but i am also very curious to know what the problem could be. thanks
