Runs horrible when it rains...
So when I get caught in the rain she runs like shit, she chokes and pulls and then goes normal and then does it again.. It doesnt even have to be raining sometimes, just as long as the street is wet it'll start running like shit...
After i let it sit or it stops raining she'll be fine again..
Anybody had this problem before? Its not my filter getting wet cuz its dry when i checked, it wont throw any codes either.. Aything that could get wet under the engine and make it do that?

Only thing that i can think of is my o2 sensors but that would throw a code, right? Also i was thinking maybe the jerkoff that did my tune did something wrong and it runs bad when it gets humid?

Sure sounds like spark plug(s), wires or bad coil(s). Mist these with water, and see how she runs. Don't go get your garden hose and soak the engine, have it idling and get some kinda hand held water bottle and spray them down, look and listen for the arcing.

put di-electric grease in your boots and check the boots themselves for cracks. Sounds like those guys are on the right track...sounds spark related. I've had it do it many times over the years with cracked boots, loose boots, cracked distributor caps, and stupid stuff like that.

If it is cracked o2 wires, you would be better off using liquid electrical tape. Regular tape is meant for keeping wire loom together and thats it IMO. The liquid will get everything and stay forever.
