Sputter sputter SUPER FAST ACCELERATION

well, I know I have said/thought this before, but I have found what I believe to be the cause of my running rough when it's wet out issues. There are three multiple wire plugs attaching two harnesses behind the ecu in the passenger kick panel. All three of mine were so filled with corrosion from water leacking into the area in the kick panel, that the actual plastic of the plugs was cracked, one of the male metal prongs was broken off in the female receptacle, and one of the wires wasn't connected to the plug anymore by anything more than corrosion. I soaked them in seltzer to try and fizz off some corrosion, sprayed them with wd-40, and then started the truck. It had been running beautiful all day, but now that I had gotten those connections wet (and obvisouly the corrosion was wet now too), it behaved as it did when it is raining. So I then sprayed the connectors with electrical cleaner and dried them out, and it ran perfect again. This was the first time I was able to make the problem appear and then make it dissappear. So I cut out the plugs and made my own connections, and so far so good. Time will tell I suppose, but I have a lot more confidence that this is the cause of my issues than any of the other issues I found that I ended up fixing.
