Cars running funny.

Well... I changed the timing belt a couple months ago only to find out Honda had done it wrong the last time... and that's why my car has been a guttless wonder since I got it... It also explained why my car pinged like all hell unless I retarded the ignition ALL the way...

So I fixed it and set the ig. timing and my car RIPPED... my friend in his 70 impala used to ROMP on me... there was nothing I could do to give chase much less keep up... well I've beaten him once or twice now (his car is still faster in the 1/4 I'm sure).

WELL... the other night I hit a puddle and water splashes up onto my distributer (splash guard fell off in a snow storm... I've been too lazy to put it back on)... ANYWAY... it's happened a couple times where the dist. gets soaked and the car dies out...

Only this time the car runs like ASS now... there is NO WOT power at all... 1/4-3/4 throttle is OK.. not what it was but nothing too noticable... but if I floor it into vtec it falls on it's face... makes LOTS of noise but not to much action going on...

I'm thinking it's the TPS or MAP sensor and it just happened to happen around the same time as the dist...

But my problem is that the car has 185k+ so it really could be ANY of the sensors going bad...

any input is welcome
