About 4 months ago, I drove through some pretty heavy rain and the car (01 V6) ended up starting to sputter on the highway and had an extremely jerky throttle. Had to have it towed back home because it barely drove, and I was 20 mins home. Threw no codes.
Had it taken to a local mechanic and they diagnosed the engine just had too many miles on it and pressure was down on one cylinder. (298k on the original motor and has been running super smooth until this point)
Let the car sit for a month or so until the weather got cold, and tried starting it up and it ran perfectly. Seemed to like the cold. Its been running perfectly ever since, but now today, drove through more rain and the car gave up on me again. This time threw those codes, indicating O2 sensor 1, EVAP control system leakage, and PFTDR Signal Line Failure. Acting exactly like it did before.
Figuring this HAS to be something electrical but I don't know where to start. I'm 8 months away from a newer vehicle and this is my only car
