it is cutting out do to the fact that either the distributer cap is getting wet or the mass airflow conection is getting wet. as for the intake unhook it from where it turns into the body and turn it to the engine bay that will help a little. i coated all my sparkplug conections with high temp ( red ) silicon, massair flow sensor, and the distributor cap where it conects to the distributor. good luck water + engine = trouble just a thought. u can check out my web site at the bottom of my post for more water proofing. aka custom snorkle.
