This has only been happening when it rains. This is happening in all my gears but is worse in first gear. I was at a dead stop and accelerated. I was going to go up to about 5000 but as soon as i hit 4000 my car prety much stopped. Not a complete stop but all power was gone and it kind of jerked. It wouldnt drive so i put it into neutral and rolled to a stop. The cars idle dropped very close to dying and then engine kind of was shaking for a good minute and my car was blowing out aloooooot of smoke. Im prety sure it was white cloudy smoke couldnt really tell because it was at night but thats the color i was seeing. I have absolutly no idea what this is. Could it be my CAI sucking in water? Because this only happens when its raining and it loses all its power at 4000. Happens in all the gear when its raining. Please help me out. Getting tired of having problems alll the time. Let me know.

Oh alright. My CAI has two parts to it. So all i will need to do is take the second part off and put my filter there. How much difference would a new filter and a dirty used filter make on how the car runs? any difference. mine is prety nasty from it being just in front of the tire under the car.

Wow...If you have CAI never gun it in rain unless you got a bypass valve. Thats a lil security measure helps.

Basically it will bypass the filter in an event of pressure drop. ie water at the filter. It will allow air to enter the intake threw a small filter. AEM makes one.
Here is an example of the AEM
