For those with hood vents

Has anyone had a problem with getting their throttle body wet. Reason being my check engine light just came on and gave me codes dealing with the map sensor and the cruise control. Can't think of a reason why both at the same time. It was raining a lot down here recently?

With hood vents like these, it isn't a problem

I've been thru all of the elements for almost two years with LeBaron vents cut into my hood.

No problem with mine. Been through snow/rain for a year.

I have the LeBaron vents and I am currently living in Hillsboro Oregon. I have been thru tons of wet weather. Not a single issue since I have been here.

I have lebaron vents, My wife let it sit for a few months while I was overseas. MAP and TPS still good, but the throttle body had frozen up (corrosion inside and out.)

At raceace.com, I love the picture of the Saturn with the hood vents.

i have lebaron vents, slightly farther back than most. it was fine for a few rainy monthes, than once after a storm i had to drive it home from the movies and it was running so bad i am suprised it didnt die, and i felt like i shouldnt have driven it at all.
now i try to keep them sealed in the rain and allways seal them in the mud

wheredjugetthose?

Are they plastic or metal? Look like a very good mod!

Mine weren't over the throttle body so I can't tell you.
