^ yea dude i cant figure out wtf it is. when you attempt to drive during this, does the car jerk back hard like its stalling out? thats what mine does.
and my boost at idol reads 25.
i really would like to avoid putting the stock intake back on.
if indeed the throttle body/vaccum are the problem (only happens when it rains) then hopefully that should fix it. if not then i have no f'ing clue and i will result into putting the stock intake on. im going to go in for that "tune" like they spoke of above (what does this involve) {im not very car literate} also, i will see about getting the throttle sensor replaced/checked

No of it makes sense. If it were a bad vac line, it wouldn't only do it during warm up. (atleast I would think) same with the throttle body. i dunno. I'm keeping an eye on this thread to see what happens.

OK so think (Only happenes when it rains) What is rain? ITS WATER so when it rains your car can suck up water into the intake system ! Even with your setup. A maf uses fine wires to tell the air coming in by sending voltage that wil warm the wires up and the air coming in cools it down. So if water splashes on the maf or dirt gets on there itll skew the maf. so if its not maf then you either have a issue with a elctronic device like the coil packs or a other sensor... or your ecm is going out

i have same problem. replaced tb, maf, and just put on a pre-filter(hydroshield). I also know that water drips on mine from the headlight and my fender liner doesn't line up right and am getting water in there too. I also taped around the maf and where the tube connects to filter to keep water from trickling into those spots too. I only show vacuum of like 8.9-9.5 at idle.

You have an 07 ss/sc? Thats with the LSJ Engine, LSJs tend to idle hunt when their Throttle Bodies get dirty. Not sure why yours only does it when its wet. Try cleaning your throttle body though. It wont hurt. Also, I run K&N's Drycharger on my ZZP 3" Intake, in pouring rain... zero problems. But I do avoid puddles like the plague.

All I have is an aeroforce scan gauge. The manifild psi is what I'm referring to. The car runs fine and pulls hard other than same issue as op. The only diff with mine is it can just sit in rain and will start bucking when I drive.

Only other setting I have seen is supercharger psi. The interceptor was in the car when I bought it so I have no manual or instructions. It sems to read boost fine. I see peak boost around 16 psi.
