Default What could be wrong?

Well I started my car this morning and it was running like crap. The idle was very bad and sounded like a very bad misfire. It reminded me when I had cams installed on a different vehicle and the timing was off when it was initially started. When I turned the key to the off position the car ran for a little over 1 sec then died. I started it 3 times and all three times it did the same thing. I am running a HKS f-con and it has been over 100% humidity for about 1 week were I live. So what could be wrong with my gem?

Thanks,
James

Has it rained? You could have water leaking through the firewall onto your EMS. Discovered this happening on my car the other day (which was my fault from a recent alarm install)...worst place in the world for the loom to go through IMO...

It has been raining for 2.5 weeks nonstop here, but the ecu is clean and dry. The car ran great 2 days prior to todays start up. I do not have my MAF installed because I run a MAP with the F-con and I always have a check engine light on.
