Default Engine Dies

My Engine dies.

This is a 90 C4.

It has been raining, and so far over the last two days dies after driving in the rain. If I apply WOT I can keep it running but then it dies. I can shut off the car competly then restart ,, then in a moment or two it dies again. Again WOT will keep it running and if I maintain high revs it will run.

The Drivers side rear floor board is soaking wet.
The DME is not wet.
The DME harness runs through the wet area.

I changed the DME Relay yesterday.

Recent work.
New coil, plugs , wires, rotor, caps, AC compressor.

The shop looked at the Flywheel speed sensor and indicated the heater hose was missing in this area. They replaced the heater hose and indicated the missing hose may have been causing the flywheel sensor to overheat causing it to fail.

I just called them to let them know this did not solve it.

Seems I have a wet electrical system or a ground fault or other.

Any ideas as I am now looking at all connections and the wire loom to the DME.

I will be checking the rear fuse box in case they moved something in this area but seems that it is water related.
