Had a good down pour here this morning. Hit a few ponds going to work.

My wideband started reading richer.

Since my sensor is in the cat, the connector is below the car with the short lead of the sensor.

I checked this evening and heat shrink around the connector, wire end, has come loose. When I pulled apart the connector the pins were soaked.

My questions are:
Is the sensor fried?
Will it operate correctly when dried out?

Last night I cleaned the pins and water out with alcohol.

This morning it had strange behavior:

• While driving at cruising speed, it was pegged lean 21. (It's not running lean - VF registers 2.25 at cruise)

•When I came to a stop it would begin to register normal 14's.
