Rb26 intermittent miss, runs a bit off. Sarted after driving in heavy rain.

Hey everyone. Im a bit stumped and perplexed at this point. I have a 99 stagea 260rs. It has an apexi power fc, other wise stock engine.
Anyways i went with a friend to go look at a cheap Delica an hour away on the weekend, on the drive back it was a nasty downpour. I noticed when i took over driving the engine sounded a bit off at idle when i stopped to switch seats with my friend. Got home and when holding the revs at 2-3k rpms a noticeable intermittent miss occurs. At idle the car sounds off, almost more of a honda sound with a rice can,  same as revving under load it has a riced out honda sound (as funny as that sounds). This all happened after driving in really heavy rain for over an hour. 

It's also revving just  bit higher as well. I noticed the commander will say 900 rpms for current revs while the tach reads about 1050. It sounds like a bit faster idle as well

Only 2ks ago i put in new plugs ngk bcpr7eix, and put on super spark coil packs when i got the car. 

I was thinking a plugin or coil pack got wet. After the rain i have gone and pulled any plug i could find including the ignitor, and dryed with compressed air then applied dielectric grease to each plug as well. No difference. I pulled all the coilpacks and even pulled a plug. I bought new coppers to run, but after pulling the new irdium plugs i decide dto keep them in there as no evidence of  of foul plugs was present.  The plug looked in great shape and no coil packs or plugs were wet. I installed my old set of stock coilpacks and no difference either. I can hear a noticeable miss from each cylinder when i pull each coil pack plug as well so its not one individual/constant miss. 
I have a friend with a spare igniter that i am going to try as well. I'm not really sure what next to do.

I also checked the wiring but didnt seem to notice anything change while checking the ignition harness and plugins.
I was thinking fuel but i dont think so as im not getting a knock but it could be fuel im not sure. The fuel filter is fresh as well but i can change that too. 

When i was going through the apexi fc commander i noticed that the second O2 sensor is sending no voltage or 0.04V so im guessing that's gone. I don't know if that would cause the miss tho.
There is an aftermarket grounding kit that goes to the ignitor as well. I had to put on larger north american terminals and can't get the greatest contact but after adjusting he grounding kit there was no difference.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm a bit stumped and i was considering selling my stagea then this develops.
Thanks!

From my experience, R32s are voltage sensitive, so make sure the battery terminals and grounds/earths are good.
Also, does it have standard AFMs? I'd re-solder the pins inside as they're old now.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
