gnucar is on a distinguished road
X-cellent - Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately, I am around Pensacola (panhandle)...if anyone knows of a good shop in the Mobile, AL to Ft. Walton Beach, FL area I would appreciate the recommendation. I found Tech Master in Ft. Walton Beach, which is a member of BIMRS but I'm hesitant to try them with something that could be big without more knowledge.

HPIA4v2 - Thanks, checked that one yesterday and it was as dry as a bone.

Wayne's World - Thanks, I was afraid of that. I am wondering if the Bavarian Technic reader could see any errors that the ODB2 isn't seeing...it would be worth it to buy it just for this, if it would.

Given that idle while stationary is fine, but it is not fine when moving, I would be looking to the transmission more than the engine electronics. There is a harness to the electronic transmission control (which communicates with the engine) and it is far more likely to get water into it than something on top of the engine like a sparkplug.
