do you think its a temp problem as something got wet ?

or do think letting it dry out will correct it ?

or will I need to replace something ?

I am still under cpo warranty but my car is flagged so anything to do with upgrades will not be covered

just connected battery back up and it started up fine , I have not driven it yet as its about to rain again....

Anybody know what could have gotten wet that would cause this problem ? I want to check to see if it is covered from the rain. Thanks

I have always kept my engines immaculate; just cover up connections and electrical boxes/ecus,etc with plastic bags, don't pressure wash, just wash after some cleaner. NEVER had an issue. I clean my motors every few months, top it off with a tooth brush clean, and some nice Armor All.
