Storm hits / wont start

I'd check your battery cables first. Sounds more probable and easier.
Only got a few sprinkles early in the morning on my side of town (SW).

wow, really ? Im near Grant and Swan it we got hammered
for about 3 hours straight...
between the lightening show, power outtages, and rivers..
I mean street flooding, it was a pretty wild nite of driving.

First thing I checked where the cables at the battery
but checking the connection at the starter too once
pull it., thanks.

I had a problem in Jan/Feb this year like you have and it turned out to be my original battery terminals (they had become conical shaped over the years) I suppose from removing to reboot or clear a cell. They apparently were only making good contact with the battery terminal near the top and "coned" away from the terminal going down the battery post. I put new terminals on (regular style ones from advance/autozone??) and haven't had a problem since.

I let the car dry out and sit for 2 days
cleaned the post and cables at the battery
and now, it starts fine.

Still have the CEL
code came back as 2nd Bank 2nd O2 sensor
downstream .

Could also be just a bad non sealing gascap too.

Ill probably end up buying both O2s for the pass
side and a new gascap just to be safe.

and then O2s for the dr side in a few more weeks.
all 4 look original and the Vx has 113k on it anyways.

thanks guys
