If it just randomly happend at the car wash, I would let it sit the nite, drive it tomorrow. More then likly it sucked up water, or ater got into some electrical connections somehow..

Probably. I dont know what the procharger setup looks like. Why would the air intake filter be near an exposed area? Seems like a bad idea due to rain or "car washes" or just washing in your driveway.
But I would think it would have cleared itself up pretty quick if it didnt shut the motor down.

Oh and to check your fuel pump/filter...you can watch the AFR gauge, it should dip into the low low 12's or 11's when you get into boost. If it drops and then starts to climb as you increase rpm, it is a fueling issue. The problem is you really have to put some demand on the fuel system to test this and you better be quick to pull your foot up if the AFR heads up into the 12's or higher. I will happen instantly. Otherwise engine damage is possible. Aren't you close to Westers Garage?

So the MAF is indeed hooked up.
I took if for a spin and it drives a wee bit better (idle is better) but when I step on it a bit the Air/Fuel gauge reads "RCF" and acceleration stops. I only did this twice as it can't be good.
I am about 5 hours from Westers.
What is RCF?

Look here. Do you see your model?
http://www.plxdevices.com/M-Series_installation.htm
I went through several of the .pdf documents and searched. No RCF. You may have to find your manual or call PLX tomorrow. Of course tomorrow when you get in it may run fine.
I would think if it was water it would have evaporated with the driving you already did with it. However, if your filter is soaked (Did you check?) then it could still be causing you issues be adding water, and maybe oil if it is an oil sprayed K & N filter, to the MAF. Of course from the looks of it, all that would have to travel through the head unit (Blower) so I don't see that happening either.
Is the maf connected ot the filter, before the blower?

I also pm'ed Allen just now to see if the readings I have give any clue.
Thanks Sloehoe for all your efforts - much appreciated
Shutting down for a bit to watch Lakers/Celtics. Will check later and tomorrow.
