Water in Airtake
My check engine light came on and I checked the air filter. It was soaking wet and the bottom of the air intake below the filter had a puddle of water in it. Did Ford put some drain holes in there or what?
I am stumped as how that much water got in there. And where's the connector for the code reader so I can turn off that engine check light?

Did you (or somebody else) ever remove the air silencer? If so, that might be the way that all of the water got in there. I removed mine, but have not had any problems with water getting up into there - and I live in Los Angeles where we have been having some SERIOUS monsoons this winter.
As for the connector, I think it's up in the very top left of your engine compartment, just in front of the passenger side dash and the heater core.

no drain holes..
you probably hit a big puddle, and water came thru the bumper/light area.. or snow..

Re: Water in Airtake
I had the exact same problem with my 96 T-Bird a few months ago.
The air inlet that is before the air cleaner box goes down and then comes back up, kind of like a plumbing trap under a sink. At the very bottom of the trap is a rubber one way valve that is supposed to drain the water out of the air inlet. When it gets stiff, the water doesn't drain and can really screw things up. I reached up and pulled the valve out and left it out, a decent amount of water came out. The check engine light is on due to your mass air flow sensor getting wet. I had to replace mine to get the car to run right again, hopefully yours isn't too far gone. There are also 2 TSBs on this subject as well.
