Default Intermittent Stumbling on Acceleration

I drove through a puddle during the rain storms here in California and the car began to stumble like a wet ignition. Park it for few days to dry out the ignition. Now it acts as if it has wet ignition only sometimes and at idle or low rpm. Fuel system or Opti-Spark problems? :cry

Live95, I don't have an answer for you, but I don't want your first post to go unanswered. Access any trouble codes that may exist. Water is an opti killer, so it is possible that you are experiencing the beginning of opti failure. Hesitation on acceleration was a symptom I experienced before my opti failed. Let's hope it is something else, but check your trouble codes first.
