i gotta be the luckiest rx7 owner ever...

to start things off i own a 1990 rx7 supercharged and live in michigan where the weather is ridiculously cold. well any way i went to get a car wash yesterday, and then went straight to work. when it was time to clock out i hopped into my car and started it. but it started up funny and started to bog alot. i got the car home amazingly. so i started working on it this morning to find out what the situation was cuz i thought i blew my seals. i spent hours doing research and did compression tests, and all was fine. well i was confused, then i realized i had an custom cold air intake. sure enough it was my mass air flow that was frozen from the car wash, lol.

I wouldn't think the air filter would let that much water in...

what kind of filter do you have?
