Odd engine problem on a rainy day . . chug, chug, chug,

[Konstantin Bogach]

One wire sensors - engine temp sensor and ISV temp sensor - could be a 
problem.  ECU does not read engine temp from MFT.  MFT is used as 
threashold triggers to cut boost and AC in case of overheating.   Temp 
meter on the dash is fed from MFT.
